A young Canadian software engineering graduate told Parliamentarians on Thursday that he still can’t find an entry-level job in his field, prompting Liberal MP Peter Fragiskatos to tell him: “At least you’re employed.”

“Are you working now?” asked MP Fragiskatos. “Yes,” replied Ethan Miranda, the recent graduate. “Though, I’m not working as a software engineer.”

“I understand that, but at least with the time that you’ve devoted to your studies… I’m glad to hear that you are employed,” the MP concluded.
