How Complicated To Get A Job
Here in the Philippines, the issue about K-12 still do exist. For some, K-12 is very helpful in a way that the students can decide on what course they will take in college, that the additional two years will give them a good experiences to learn in the particular track they want to pursue. On the other hand, some students do not agree on this, as it will just consume more years before they graduate, and more expenses although the government provide subsidies, in reality this is not enough as there are more expenses other than the tuition.

I have mentioned last time that my younger brother will graduate from senior high, then we saw some posts saying that the new set of national officers are planning to remove the K-12, imagine if this happened, then on the next school year the batch of my younger brother who graduated from senior high school or grade 12, will pursue first year college together with those who had moving up from grade 10. I told my mom that it's impossible to remove that k-12 although many are against to it, even I myself is neutral in terms of this topic. My mom jokingly said, "It's okay if they will remove the k-12, but they must pay back all our expenses."
About finding a job, most of the companies and other jobs prefer to hire college graduates, and since they don't accept graduates from k-12, then others conclude that k-12 was useless. What's more funny here in the Philippines is that most companies have this high standard, I remember my aunt talking about "pleasing personality" as one of the major requirement of an applicant, I asked her on what does it mean, then she said that the company needs a beautiful/handsome worker. Like opss, we are all beautiful, but what if the outer beauty that we have doesn't reach the standard of the company; end up with discrimination.
One of my co-worker said that when her son graduated from k-12, it became lazy to pursue college, he prefer to work at least he can earn, and ignore the benefits of being a college graduate.
I have watched a video, saying how demanding to have a job in the Philippines. First, they want you to be a college graduate with 1-2 years experience. Imagine you are a fresh graduate and trying your best to grab any work that you can, then they will ask about your experience; does the 17-19 years on studies isn't enough for experience? Charr.
One thing that I don't like about finding a job is that it's too hard when you don't have a backer or someone that will help you to take even the lowest position. Actually this is not only in job, but even in scholarship, when you don't have backer then don't expect too much that you can get the slot. This is not good, but what I am saying is the reality; no matter how intelligent you are.
Some of our kababayans prefer to work abroad, most of them take job which not related to the courses in college, but they are satisfied with their income although it's not that easy.
I don't know if my co-filipino writers here have the same observation, again based on my observation, that the government usually give an additional salary to teachers, police and army; but in other job sectors still the same.
Another thing that I don't like in terms of salary is that those who work hard only gain few income, while those who just sit in the office or just have that work because of power earn more.
By the way, this are just my observation and own opinion, I know there are a lots of benefits but sad to say, not everyone can have it.

The idea behind it was superb in that way we are the same as our international counterparts, however, we are not yet ready to implement such. Employers still look for college grads or if not, at least they are able to secure at least 2nd-year college without any back subjects.
It is frustrating as it is but the standards are too high but the salary isn't thus more and more are looking for opportunities outside the country or looking for employers which isn't Filipino ( more online jobs)
