Oxford graduates tending bars

Dearth of jobs in the UK is compelling a number of Oxford University passouts to work as bar tenders, waitresses and waiters, a survey has revealed.

Of the 3,500 passouts who supplied information, nearly 200 have been working in nongraduate occupations such as office clerk, sales assistant or bar employee, according to the figures released by the university.

The statistics reveal a snapshot of the desperate employment market in United Kingdom and shows that while many secure jobs as doctors, bankers or consultants, others are struggling to get their foot on the career ladder, the 'Daily Telegraph' newspaper reported.
