Four in five college students think employers put a bigger emphasis on one's educational background than ability in hiring employees, a survey shows.


According to the survey conducted by the Hyundai Research Institute, 80.5 percent of 2,361 students from 132 universities said that having a degree from a prominent university is more useful than their ability when it comes to finding a job.

Most notably, 91.7 percent of survey participants who major in medicine, pharmacology and nursing said they agree with that notion.

The poll also highlighted the disparity in how students from different financial backgrounds perceive their job prospects.

A total of 67.3 percent of students who identified themselves as coming from high-income families said they believe they can get any job they want. The rate fell to 45.4 percent for students who classified themselves as members of low-income households.

"This comes in line with growing social concerns over solidifying succession of wealth and poverty, where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer," said Kim Byung-gyu, who conducted the survey.

While 64.9 percent of public college students said they believe they can get any job they want, just 56 percent of private college students said so.

A total of 37.1 percent said a sense of accomplishment is the most important thing to consider before choosing their job, followed by job stability (26 percent) and salary (20 percent).

When asked if they would like to work abroad, 59.3 percent said they would. The rate of response was higher among female students at 63.3 percent compared with 54.6 percent of male students.

Experts say an increasing number of students prefer working overseas, given that Korea has notoriously long working hours. According to government data in 2013, Koreans work 44.6 hours per week on average, the highest among OECD members.



대학생 10명중 8명 "취업시장서 능력보다 학벌이 중시돼"

지속가능연구소 설문조사…취업 전망도 빈익빈 부익부

대학생 10명 가운데 8명 가량은 취업 시장에서 능력보다 학벌이 중시된다는 생각을 하는 것으로 나타났다.

9일 '2.1 지속가능연구소'와 대학생언론협동조합 'YeSS'가 현대리서치 등에 의뢰해 전국 132개 대학생 2천361명을 상대로 설문조사한 결과, 80.5%(1천901명)가 취업시장에서 능력보다 학벌이 중시된다고 답했다.

특히, 조사에 응한 의대·약대·간호대 학생 59명 중 능력보다 학벌이 중시된다고 답한 비율은 91.7%(54명)에 달했다.

대학 진학에 사교육이 영향을 미친다고 응답한 비율은 전체의 85.5%(2천19명)에 달했다.

아울러 대학생의 집안사정에 따라 취업 전망도 크게 엇갈리는 등 취업시장에서의 빈익빈 부익부 현상도 나타났다.

집안 사정이 상위에 해당한다고 답한 대학생들은 291명, 하위에 해당한다고 답한 대학생들은 365명이었다.

상위계층에 해당한다는 대학생들의 67.3%(196명)는 '원하는 곳에 취업할 수 있다'고 답했으나, 하위계층 대학생들은 이 비율이 45.4%(166명)에 그쳤다.

김병규 2.1 지속가능연구소 부소장은 '이는 사교육-대학진학-취업으로 이어지는 부와 가난의 대물림이 구조화하고, 빈익빈 부익부가 고착화하는 사회적 우려와 무관하지 않다'고 지적했다.

'졸업한 뒤 원하는 곳에 취업할 수 있을 것'이라는 응답률은 국공립대학생(64.9%)이 사립대학생(56.0%)보다 높았다.

계열별로는 취업 경로가 뚜렷한 의대·약대·간호대(75%) 계열이 가장 높았고, 교육계열(73.7%)과 인문학계열(52%)이 그 뒤를 이었다.

취업에서 가장 중요하게 생각하는 요소는 성취감(37.1%), 직업적 안정성(26%), 금전적 보수(20%) 순으로 집계됐다. 구성원 간의 관계(9.6%)는 상대적으로 비율이 낮았다.

전공분야별로는 교육계열에서 안정성, 사회계열과 예체능계열에서 성취감, 의학계열에서 안정성과 보수에 대한 선호가 상대적으로 높게 나타났다.

경제·경영계열의 대학생 4명 가운데 1명(25%)은 '졸업 후 5년 안에 창업 의향이 있다'고 답했다. 전체평균(18.6%)과 비교해 높은 반응이었다.

대학생 60.1%(1천419명)는 '전업주부가 되는 것은 보수를 받고 일하는 것만큼 가치가 있다'고 응답했다. 특히, 이 비율은 남학생(64.1%)이 여학생(56.7%)보다 더 높아 눈길을 끌었다.

대학생 10명 중 6명(59.3%)은 근무여건이나 직장문화 등을 고려할 때 가능하면 외국에서 취업하고 싶다는 의사를 밝혔다. 이 비율은 여학생(63.3%)이 남학생(54.6%)보다 10%포인트 가량 더 높았다.

한양대에 재학중인 서종민(23)씨는 '글로벌 트렌드에 맞춰 해외로 나가겠다는 뜻으로 볼 수도 있지만, 국내 기업풍토에 실망해 취업 망명을 하겠다는 부정적인 뜻으로 해석할 수도 있다'고 말했다. (연합뉴스)
