Özet

The aim of the present study was to determine whether or not young university students are worried about being unemployed after graduation. Choice of field for university education influences unemployment worries and therefore we collected data from 287 university students from Ankara University who were studying social sciences or sciences. The results demonstrated that the level of concern about unemployment in students about to graduate is very high and education in sciences or social sciences influences how this phenomenon is handled. Congruence between our findings and the literature is discussed.
