I know that ETHZ has a lot of different education paths, and most of them end up very specialized. I was wondering what percentage of ETHZ graduates ends up leaving Switzerland, simply because there aren't many jobs openings in Switzerland about what they studied for?

What led me to ask this: on r/switzerland, expats like to rant that they don't find a job, but the issue is that many of them are highly educated, and there simply aren't enough jobs in Switzerland for so many highly educated and specialized individuals. There are job openings for waitress, construction workers, and other low education jobs, but that's not the jobs they want obviously. This led me to think about this: ETHZ and EPFL produce a lot of highly educated graduates in so many different fields, but do most of them end up leaving Switzerland simply because there aren't enough jobs for those people here? I find it kind of sad to study here for two or even five years, and then you have to leave since there is just not the kind of jobs that you spent years preparing for

Both ETHZ and EPFL offer a master in Quantum Engineering. I always wondered what they end up doing as job, especially if they somehow want to stay in Switzerland? Or do most leave?

I know it’s possible and even likely that many end up doing a PhD, but what do they do after the PhD? And also, I don’t know for EPFL, but at ETH Zürich there are around 35 students per year who graduate with this master. But there are surely significantly less than 35 new open PhD positions in Quantum Engineering/Computing/Communication per year, right? So not everyone ends up doing a PhD. What do those graduates end up doing?

Do you know some people who did the Quantum Engineering master? A few years ago, they introduced this master. But I always wondered what they do as job after graduation? I don’t think there are many jobs in Switzerland about it, maybe a handfull of start ups. Do most of them end up doing a PhD afterwards? But what do they then do after the PhD ?

Do you know some people who did the Quantum Engineering master? A few years ago ( I think in 2019), they introduced this master. But I always wondered what they do as job after graduation? I don’t think there are many jobs in Switzerland about it, maybe a handfull of start ups but that’s about it, but from what I understand there are abour 35 students per year majoring in Quantum Engineering at ETHZ. Do most of them end up doing a PhD afterwards? But what do they then do after the PhD ?

A Berne, Zurich, Bâle, car apparement c'est moins compétitif que faire médecine en Suisse romande, car le système est différent? Pourquoi ils vont pas en Roumanie directement? Ils offrent aussi des diplômes de médecine reconnus en Suisse, mais les cours sont en anglais plutôt qu'en allemand

Most office jobs are hard to find, the job market is oversatured in IT, finance, biotech, law, whatever.

But there has been a shortage of pharmacists working in a pharmacy for quite some time. Starting salary around 6000 CHF, after a few years you easily reach 7000 - 7500 CHF if not 8000 CHF. You can basically choose to work anywhere in Switzerland since there is a shortage in many places.

It's an office job so you are not destroying your body like in construction or other manual fields. You are working inside, so no weather issues. Ageism isn't really a thing. Offshoring is near impossible. Maybe in some years AI will have an impact, but this concerns basically any work field.

Am I missing something? This seems like a dream job in the actualy job market. Why isn't there a huge migration of EU pharmacists to Switzerland? Also, from what I gather, there is no numerus clausus in Switzerland for Pharmacy, only in Medicine. So apparently even Swiss students don't want to graduate in the field, why?

Would you be in favor to ask neighbouring countries very nicely if they could please cede those territories as new cantons to Switzerland: Vorarlberg, Valteline, Domodossola, Mulhouse, Aosta, Savoy, Gex, Franche-comté.

Those peope deserve to get direct democracy, better public transport, better quality of life. Don't you agree?
