One out of seven college graduates hunting jobs have thought of committing suicide due to extreme stress, a survey showed Sunday.
According to the survey conducted by the Seoul National University Boramae Medical Center on 124 college graduates currently searching for jobs, 40 percent said they had experienced symptoms similar to depression, while 15.3 percent reported feeling suicidal.
Those who majored in liberal arts or social science had more stress than respondents with natural science and engineering degrees, while those with student loans were more depressed.
