gulfnews : Arab youth face job hurdle
When Ahmad Mohammad, 25, graduated with a business degree last year from the American University of Sharjah, he was prepared for the harsh reality that awaited him.
He has both objectively studied the recession in an academic setting and experienced its reality first-hand. He has been hunting for an entry-level accounting job for almost a year. He speaks of unemployment in a practical, matter-of-fact way:
"It was not a big shock for me. I studied in the school of business, so when the crisis happened we were studying it and saw it in front of us," he said. "I saw people struggle with unemployment. When I graduated I expected this."
