My sentences as usual:
-There are not enough jobs for PhD holders in universities, but at the same time those who have a PhD would not consider taking jobs that do not live up to their expectations. Roland was short-sighted and now he has to pay a dear price.
In dictionaries, all example sentences of live up to have a human subject, eg He failed to live up to his parents' expectations. But my sentence does not have one. Is it correct?
