We have seen lots of media attention on youth unemployment but what’s different in this article is that it focuses upon “youth underemployment“, as well.

It would be interesting to know about youth underemployment in the UK and Europe. With youth unemployment of 50% plus in Greece and Spain, the youth underemployment rates must be truly staggering.

I fear that David Cameron‘s government has neither been effective in addressing youth unemployment nor youth underemployment which must be awful.

Let me turn this to an open question:

How should the UK government address youth unemployment and the emerging crisis of youth underemployment?

Any thoughts?

Personally, I’m at the stage of backing up my external drives to the Cloud. Every photo or video clip is put in a folder/sub-folder by location. Where I struggle is with motivation to start sorting the photos. Professional photographers have told me that the trick is to be rigorous and discard poor photos quickly.

Any thoughts on the best way to manage digital photos?
