    narrated from Umm Salamah, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say after Fajr prayer: “Allaahumma inni as’aluka rizqan tayyiban, wa ‘ilman naafi’an, wa ‘amalan mutaqabbalan (O Allaah, I ask you for good (halaal) provision, beneficial knowledge and accepted good deeds).”

    Young graduates with bachelor's degrees in the fields of study of 'nursing,' 'engineering,' 'education and teaching' and 'computer and information science' are more likely than other graduates to find work closely related to their studies. Given Canada's aging population, individuals with health care skills are increasingly important to the labour market. Women comprise the majority in health fields, including 'nursing,' 'medicine,' and 'health diagnostic and treatment related professions' (such as mammography and MRI technicians). Most women with degrees or diplomas in these fields find work that matches their studies. Young bachelor's degree holders in 'engineering' and 'computer and information science' were very likely to bring their qualifications to where they were needed in the labour market, as 7 in 10 worked in science and technology occupations. By contrast, young graduates in 'biological sciences' tended to work in fields other than science and technology. Young bachelor's degree holders in 'arts and humanities' and 'social and behavioural sciences' were more likely than other young graduates with bachelor's degrees to work in jobs typically requiring a high school education at most. Bachelor's degree holders working in such jobs are classified as being 'overqualified.'
