"Work for Benefits" - Impact on Graduates

OK so it costs graduates about £40k to get a degree and then the politicians want them to sweep the streets or pick up litter when they can't get a job. What a surprise when there is an uproar in coming months. What a way to treat people.

In general I think people should work for allowances, but the above is a potentially very sore point for many graduates. Surely the government should help by ensuring degrees are meaningful and likely to lead to a decent job, otherwise this is just hypocritical to charge on the one hand and then demean them on the other.
