A lady had South Africans in disbelief when she shared what work she was doing while holding an LLB degree. She shared a clip of herself at her graduation ceremony and how she was working in a mine picking up rocks of chrome, which had people in the comments giving suggestions on what she could use her degree for.

An all too common scene

The land of the jobless

A massive problem that has persisted for South Africans everywhere has been unemployment. South Africa has one of the highest unemployment rates worldwide. This affects graduates too, which results in people working in fields that they would never have expected. The trend the lady participated in has tons of graduates working in places they don't want to.

The LLB degree that the lady has is something some people have been complaining about. The legal field is filled with tons of competition that makes it harder for people to earn a decent salary.

South Africans tried helping out the woman the best they could.
