College graduate who paid 6-figure fortune for his degree can’t find a jobA 21-year-old who graduated at the top of his class after spending roughly $125,000, including expenses, on his college degree said “the system is broken” after he applied for 500 jobs and didn’t get one.Khaled Sharif, 21, earned a degree in digital media tech from Kingston University just outside London, England. He began applying for relevant roles after he graduated in 2025, news agency SWNS reported.But despite submitting 500 applications, he said he’s had less than 20 job interviews and is yet to land a job — despite expanding his search into sales and other sectors that he “didn’t want to work in.”Sharif, who holds U.K. residency through his mother, moved to the United Kingdom from Qatar at age 18.At the time, he said he was the envy of his peers, thanks to the U.K.’s reputation for offering some of the “best opportunities in the world.” But Sharif said he believes his degree is not the problem.Instead, he said the job market is a “broken system” that is “flooded” with graduate applicants.”It does make me really upset. It’s really stressful,” he told SWNS. “I got [a] top-of-my-class [designation], but I can’t find anything. Kingston’s not a top university, but I just can’t find anything — and I’ve applied for everything. If people got a lower grade, how hard would it be for them?”He added, “Since I posted on TikTok about it, I’ve had people [who hold] masters [degrees] saying they can’t get anything.”He went on, “I could easily get a part-time job in a Tesco [supermarket].”But he wants “to use his degree,” he said.He mentioned how much he spent to earn a college degree — and said, “I think the system is broken. More opportunities have to be made, but because of COVID and now AI, companies don’t want to hire. They’re looking to save money.”
