If you’ve landed on this page, dear reader, you might just be looking for a graduation poem.
I’ve written one for you, but perhaps not one you might expect.
Most graduation poems are a celebration of the moment, and there’s nothing wrong with that approach. It’s the culmination of years of hard work, after all.
However, in the modern age, it seems that many young people look back and wonder whether the burden of student debt was worth it, in terms of the potential return on the money and time invested.
You can decide on the merits or otherwise of that argument, of course, but I thought it might be interesting to offer an alternative perspective. One that might be considered more realistic, possibly?
If you like it, feel free to share it on social media.
Graduation Poem:
Wore gown and mortar board
Proud parents taking photographs
For memories, they will hoard
The Rector warmly greeted us
He spoke of futures bright
He said we’ll all get well-paid jobs
Well, at least he said, some might
A degree once had real value
But it doesn’t anymore
When everybody’s got one
Employers know the score
Three years of diligent study
Now tinged with some regret
For two hours in the limelight
Was it worth incurring debt?
