Although Aphiwe Gugushe is grateful for any employment, given the state of South Africa's economy, the young chemistry graduate with a Master's degree says she'd definitely prefer to work in her area of expertise.
Social media reactions
The young woman's innocent request for a little help in finding work in the chemistry field has triggered many unsavoury reactions from social media.
While some Twitter users sympathised with the graduate, others savagely remarked that she should just be grateful and that her lack of real-life work experience was holding her back.

"Graduates have serious entitlement issues. Capitec imzamile losisi, but its not enough is it? They were supposed to make her CEO cos she has Master's right?"
@CYnens said:
"Master's in chemistry is very useless in banking, extremely useless."
@sedilethoba20 said:
"Master's with no experience is a Bachelor's degree."
@MkhabelaTony had some heartfelt advice:
"Actually, we should be grateful in these trying times to at least still have a job..."
@Bonisile_RMS savagely remarked:
"She has a degree in chemistry though. What must Capitec do? Put her in charge of their lab?"
