Student stress

This article is about the graduate and the employer. As much as companies are saving the driver's salary from their expenses. Is it really reasonable to expect graduates to have driving licenses, are they paid enough to acquire a driving license (not in all industries). Not everyone is exposed to these subsidised licences. The license industry is corrupt

I honestly do not agree with this “a license is a requirement” when you apply for an office job. Firstly you are a student fresh from university, you did not get a bursary, you studied on a student loan or your parents paid in cash for your varsity fees, they don’t have any money left after that, they’re expecting you to get a decent job because they’ve spent thousands and thousands of rands for you to get that better job than the one they currently have. On top of all those expenses you must have a driver’s license before you can get a job that matches your qualifications. Forgive me if I’m wrong but I absolutely think it is ridiculous honestly! Not everyone comes from a wealthy family. I don’t believe everyone is exposed to these “subsidised license” things. To make matters worse our learners/driving schools companies are corrupt depending on the kind of information you have access to and who you might know. A simple leaners to license route is make long and tedious because of the middle men which are the driving schools. Thousands of rands are spent on acquiring a license. What I understand from the office’s perspective is that they want you to be able to drive the company car to meetings, deliver documents and so forth. First of all even when you get an office job as a graduate you don’t even get paid enough money to do that license(depending on your qualification of course), you cannot do anything concrete with the kind of salaries some people get out here. So in closing before you require a staff member to have a driver’s license pay them enough to acquire that license.
