That
It is true that now you will have to begin in earnest and learn a speciality that will fit you for the particular position that you choose, whereas not too many years ago you could perhaps have walked into a job.
About the 'whereas' clause, is it within the 'that' clause of 'it is true that' as:
It is true that now you will have to begin in earnest and learn a speciality that will fit you for the particular position that you choose, whereas not too many years ago you could perhaps have walked into a job.
or is it outside the scope of the 'that' clause as:
It is true that now you will have to begin in earnest and learn a speciality that will fit you for the particular position that you choose, /whereas not too many years ago you could perhaps have walked into a job.

And also in the 'whereas' clause, the subjunctive mood is used and you cannot really say 'it is true'? Without 'perhaps', would you still read it the same way, as outside, MM?
