The Leighton Smith Podcast: Leonard S. Hong discusses the struggle to find jobs despite high qualifications

Leonard S. Hong arrived in New Zealand at the age of three. 

His story is one of choosing the right parents, hard work, and applied effort to succeed. 

At age 29 he has a Master of Science and has completed a Prime Ministerial Scholarship to Asia. He’s worked in Perth and Singapore, and speaks both English and Korean fluently. 

He is a valuable citizen. 

So why are he and so many of his friends angry? 

Unbelievably, he’s back at university because he cannot find a job. 

And as always, we checked the Mailroom with Mrs Producer, and concluded with climate matters.
