Yes, and what is more, they expect to magically get a job even if they got a degree in Minoan pottery, or post-modern French feminist theory.

But to be fair this issue is not limited to this countries, even in the US there are plenty of people who believe that if they got a degree that somehow magically entitles them to a job.

The UK as well, we have "media" students from nth-tier "universities" like London Met strolling through the streets demanding their right to a job. The old attitude, call it Protestant or Anglo-Saxon or just plain English, is dying out, replaced by entitlement culture from the EU.
