VietNamNet Bridge – At present, the salary of domestic helpers is about VND3 million ($150) per month, while newly graduated bachelors receive only about VND2 million ($100).

 VietNamNet Bridge – A lot of excellent university graduates complain they cannot find jobs. This is not because of the economic recession, but because of the candidates’ lack of necessary skills.

A lot of bachelors and masters stay unemployed in the labor market where businesses now need blue collar workers more than bachelors or masters.

A mathematics master works as a simcard seller, a business administration bachelor works as home maid, or a pedagogical school graduate works as a waiter at a café. The Vietnamese high qualification labor force has become so cheap.

There are very few job opportunities for new school graduates nowadays. A lot of young bachelors, including the ones with two or three university degrees, have to lay by their degrees in wardrobe and take the jobs as blue collar workers.
