The problem is they want you to have 5 years of experience for an entry level job. Literally no exaggeration. Most graduates were 17 years old 5 years ago. It really is crazy. What’s the point in having entry level jobs if they want you to already be experienced? Nobody has time to do an unpaid internship in this day of age.
and that's just the thing.. because while I'm sure that colleges might have meant well with internships, companies on the other hand have completely perverted the meaning and likely the intentions of internships into Unpaid Entry Level Work.
Employers: we can't find new grads to hire! Also employers: entry-level means 5+ experience in every programming language in the universe, unlimited PTO you can't use, "competitive" minimum wage pay w/ expected shifts on holidays and weekends and unpaid overtime. "Must be a team player!"
This has been happening for years. Don't blame the pandemic. Yes, it did hault some of hiring during the year, but the issue of the job market for some people (not all degrees have job hiring issues) has been going on for years.
Environmental Science BS. I did an internship and worked doing research and teaching a lab during school. Got a good GPA graduated in May 2021. I'm a janitor now.
I’m an environmental consultant, bs in forestry and I’ve been lucky enough to have a 6 figure salary my entire adult life, but what we do is just corporations putting a bandaid over the damage that they’re doing to the planet and it’s really disheartening. A lot of us would like to try to meaningfully tackle environmental destruction and have good ideas on how to but “tHiNk AbOuT tHe EcOnOmY” as if that’s somehow an argument
now I'm scared. I'm going to graduate school and I have a great array of internships and a solid research position. I've been able to achieve this in 2 years and I'm graduating a year early. One of my internships offered me a fulltime position after I graduate while pursuing my masters (if I decide to stay in this city) however I recognized that's not what I'm interested in. I have friends with zero and want to work but without internships and research how likely would that even happen. I never thought that was realistic.
it's very simple. The computer software that screens applicants' resumes filters out 75% of the incoming applications. and even then, an HR screener only scans your resume for 6-7 seconds. basically, if you tell the computer what it wants to hear, you get the job!
What people seem to forget is a degree is in lieu of experience. When you graduate you just proved a whole lot about who you are, your ability to commit, to struggle, to persevere and to overcome. Ignoring such a person indicates the problem, money and power will always choke out new life. We are that new life and we are not being allowed to make it, despite achieving more than the previous generations in terms of preparing to enter the work force. If everyone accepts low wages, than employers will never offer anything more than that. We must value ourselves more than they do.
The best job qualification is not a degree. Its not experience. Its nepotism. It also helps if those that have received it do not pull the rope up behind them in the misguided belief that they got to where they are at completely by themselves. Especially when at first they admitted to the help only to change the story and even fool themselves later.
My advice is to have the courage to pursue your goals. Be able to learn and open yourself to a world of opportunities. School is meant for those who want to understand themselves and the world better. Your major does not define you but it certainly tells something about your interest and passions. We need the arts and humanities as much as the sciences and medical field. All life is art but work is life. And work can involve creativity but I’m assuming most of the dull people in this comment section are a bit greedy. Sometimes you pursue ideas because you just want to, not for the potential gains. What’s the issue here? The real issue is the unjust system itself.
I cannot find the link, but I remember a UA-cam video back in 2011 or 2012 about some girl that spent in excess of $250K to attain a doctorate in German Literature, and when all was done and complete, the young woman couldn't even land a job at a second-hand bookstore in Köln!
Ooof Recreational Studies. Considering what was her plan for that? Even physical therapist is *really* tough to get in. The male says network, which is true, but really this should have been done during their four years of college and before, if you catch my drift.
I graduated college in 2020 and been trying to apply for production assistant positions at news stations / entertainment companies. So far I’ve applied for 80 jobs with only 2 interviews and emails saying that they’re looking for other people. 😬
TV and entertainment industry has been shut down during the covid. You should be getting 2% return anyway..... I'm surprised you only applied to 80 jobs... I used to apply 80 in two weeks... No one cares how many job your applied.... Apply to 5000 jobs and land one. Your competitions are doing that. making reels, connecting, youtube, applying... 80 in 1 year??
I have been told countless times that my English language and literature degree /major is useless and not practical. I have learned such a wide array of information. It takes critical and creative abilities. Even for theater , design , philosophy majors.. sophisticated and intellectual subject. It takes many days of thinking, and ruminating on humanity and the world. It’s more a personal thing perhaps.
It certainly is NOT useless, but you may have to pivot into avenues you hadn't recently considered. Grad school shouldn't necessarily be off the table either. I have a former classmate with an English degree, but she has two master's degrees, one from Columbia. Gotta be uber-competitive to make it work sometimes-just the way of the world🤷🏾♂️
I met an alumni of my college that has an English degree and edited medical journals. No STEM background but is now a deputy comms director at one of the institutes in NIH. It's the skills and analysis.
This is why I went into nursing. There’s always a job available, and my community college is a cheap place to get my degree. And my husband is doing a trade school. You gotta go where the money is.
Well the medical field thrives because people unfortunately suffer. If everyone thought like you, the world would be stuck and everyone would be aiming low. Yeah there might be money in that field alway but if that is only why you are doing that then that is sad. People need to have passion for what they choose to do in life. For instance first generation students of color aiming high go to prestigious schools because in the first place they were never even welcomed to be there. Its about defying the odds and shooting for ur dream no matter how hard it is, I understand all must make a living and need experience and more to make it in this bizarre world but chasing dollar bills sounds pathetic
@@jeanphillipeking4838 it’s not pathetic, it’s how the world works. 90% of jobs in the world are to make a living. Do you think all bus drivers, engineers, doctors, policemen, managers etc do it out of passion? Doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy it and do a good job doing it. Everyone needs to make a living, and for most its not their “dream job.”

If you are majoring in Psychology and are interested in working with people: Earning a Master's degree in Counseling is also a path that involves gaining practical experience while allowing one to obtain licensure. This is a route one can take prior to pursing a doctorate in the field. Also, Applied Behavioral Analysis is also an alternate subfield/avenue that psych majors can explore. ABA typically involves becoming a registered behavioral technician (where you'd be servicing families with children on the Autism Spectrum). ABA is a great way to gain experience & help others in the field of psychology prior to obtaining graduate degree.
Im bioinformatics and haven't had any luck yet. My graduation is June 3rd. I've applied to many places and its almost like the dont even look at my application just straight denied. I've only applied on indeed though so maybe thats why. Any other ways you suggest to apply?
@@ryanjohnson-dk3en Before we even talk about applying to jobs, have you tried getting an internship during your college years? What skills you have that made you stand out besides only having a degree? Have you polished your LinkedIn profile? Have you have a professional look over your LinkedIn profile and your resume?
@@ryanjohnson-dk3en And most importantly. DO. NOT. BEG. FOR. A. JOB. It's because needy is creepy for CEOs and hiring manager s. It would be a HUGE turn off. A lot of graduates started to beg for jobs as a result of desperation and didn't focus on what they could bring to the company.
Not particularly. CS and Engineering yeah kinda (I say kinda, because the job outlook is higher, and there are more of those jobs available if you search on indeed/monster BUT you still have to be talented and good at it), Bio and Chem not so much, Math, Physics, Stats are in the middle.
Hard to think of a job that a employer deserves a experienced worker that pays under $20. Even the interview should be little more than finding out the person is alive and can legally work in the US. Expecting experience for those jobs is like expecting a warranty on a car you purchase for a couple hundred dollars.
Our company is hiring, but we have a hard time hiring mature and serious candidates. Some candidates come in and get tongue tied, some burst into tears for absolutely no reason. Some bring their parents and try to get their parent to answer questions for their behalf. Some bring their boyfriends or girlfriends to the interview. There were a few who brought teddy bears or soft toys. Some does not know what the dress code is and came for interview in basketball attire or in tank tops and miniskirts. There was one who wore a shiny tuxedo. Some come in and before he had a chance to go through the door was already asking how much is the pay around here. About 99% cannot do simple middle school math when resented with a written test. One couldn't subtract 23 from 17 and had to reach out for a calculator and when I stopped him, he resorted to counting with his fingers. Many does not know how many inches go into one foot, or feet into one meter. Despite this when I asked whether he'd like to join, he said that he has to ask his grandmother for permission first. So I gave up in hiring zillenials (or whatever they're called) 8 years ago. But I sincerely wish them all the best.
I know 2021 graduates who still struggle to this day and they all have useful majors. They all have jobs but it’s just jobs that anyone 15+ can do as temporary ways to keep busy while still applying. Using connections hasn’t helped.
It gets me mad. I personally have experience miscommunication in the market and how disruptive it is. I personally can teach any level of mathematics and even though, employers are not communicating clear about their expectation and they want to find candidates that have many years of experience for entry level jobs that just pays $20/hr or less
Physical therapy is seriously the most overrated health study. Expensive tuition, low starting salary of about 70k in most places and over saturation of many graduates. Don’t do it!
In 2018 (on the 4th of July to be exact), I tore my patellar tendon falling down a flight of stairs. Two weeks after getting the surgery, I had to do physical therapy. Rather than go to a physical therapist, I found a 6 month rehab routine for my injury on the Massachusetts General Hospital website. I did the entire routine at home (3x a day) by myself and by September, I was back to doing my favorite hobby: bike riding.
Y’all should join the workforce right after high school don’t waste more of your time learning things that would matter the next day start working and make money
I got mine in Business Admin - Marketing. I did 2 sales management internships, sales coordinator, and was a marketing coordinator for the schools student store. Yet I can’t get a job outside of McDonald’s manager or AT&T sales consultant.
@CHIEF TAHCHAWWICKAH I never said I wanted to be a manager? I actually don’t want to be a manger I want to learn the business and work my way up as an associate, training program, and something else. Please don’t assume and ask questions.
No. Workers need to negotiate for they want, just like employers do. If you want the best talent, you’re supposed to pay for it. It’s just business 🤷♂️
It seems the reason why , the job market's is NOT absorbing new grads is got to do with a multitude of factors such as : demande outpassing the supply , out flow of large population of grads , global general population explosion hence stiff competition with declining resources , wealth gap 1% vs the 99% , grads wanting only high paying jobs , learning is disconnected from reality in street , folks want to be their own BOSS instead of making someone else rich , world war 3 cannot take place because if it did like ww1 and ww2 it would create jobs and jobs [ the bottle is now at full capacity ] .etc ,etc etc .....
This has nothing to do with the job market and everything to do with their junk degrees. Notice how there is never computer science or engineering students featured in these videos?
I can assure you that it's not much better in CS. The HR departments posting junior dev jobs are way out of touch and the market is so oversaturated to the point it is taking hundreds of applications for people to get a single offer. I'm in that boat rn with a computational physics major and minors in math and CS, I've been stuck in a catch-22 for seemingly forever now unable to land anything.
I’m sorry but don’t feel sorry for them. Yes u have a college degree but where are the experience???? These kids want to start out making 6 figures. Not going to happen. Get a entry level job work your way up and stop looking for a handout.
entry level jobs are extremely competitive and difficullt to obtain, especially during a pandemic where businesses close left and right. the job market is terrible rn

@@Mr.JayWay exactly! Nowa days, the only way to get experience is by getting experience! Everyone knows a college degree isnt enough and that's why there's not enough internship and job opportunities to go around! Back in the day, having a degree was enough to secure a successful job but now, companies have much more higher expectations and most jobs come from connections anyways
You need to stop pointing fingers at external things and focus on what you can do to become the version of yourself and learn to how to provide value to the professional world.
They grew up in a era where they push a couple of buttons on Amazon and toilet paper shows up on their door step. so they don't know how to get to the work and grind. The ones that do know how to grind and do the hard work..... well they are in STEM field anyway.. so they are not crying.
Remember graduates, you're not kids anymore. You're in the real world you need to be proactive on branding yourself as the best person for the job. Do not whine or beg for a job which will close some doors.

@@jjmadrid23 well if neither internship resulted in a job with those companies, maybe that means there's something you still need to work on.
@CHIEF TAHCHAWWICKAH I never said I wanted to be a manager? I actually don’t want to be a manger I want to learn the business and work my way up as an associate, training program, and something else.
Please don’t assume and ask questions.
They been saying this since 2009. Lol. 10 years and still people going to college .lol
Pet Insurance?! LMAO, what a joke be thankful if you just get paid time off or health insurance beyond what's required by law.
No. Workers need to negotiate for they want, just like employers do. If you want the best talent, you’re supposed to pay for it. It’s just business 🤷♂️
Are there people who went to prestigious school and still could not find a job?
For real - pet insurance for pets is a requested benefit, they just get crazier and crazier!
They also mentioned retirement matching.
Do you know how expensive it is to provide medical care for pets?
It seems the reason why , the job market's is NOT absorbing new grads is got to do with a multitude of factors such as : demande outpassing the supply , out flow of large population of grads , global general population explosion hence stiff competition with declining resources , wealth gap 1% vs the 99% , grads wanting only high paying jobs , learning is disconnected from reality in street , folks want to be their own BOSS instead of making someone else rich , world war 3 cannot take place because if it did like ww1 and ww2 it would create jobs and jobs [ the bottle is now at full capacity ] .etc ,etc etc .....
Welcome to the real world. I graduated during 2009 housing/recession and nobody even cared about us millennials so I don’t care 🤷🏽♂️ either
But why wouldn’t you want to see a change instead of just saying “idc either”
This is why I hate humans. This species is pathetic. Cancerous people everywhere.
Depends on your major. Education, medicine, law enforcement.... Fields in need. Recreation???? Lol. Wow. Misguided.
IF the women go apply at a nonprofit they'll get hired.
4:02 lmao that was the case even before the pandemic....absolutely nothing new smh
This has nothing to do with the job market and everything to do with their junk degrees. Notice how there is never computer science or engineering students featured in these videos?
I can assure you that it's not much better in CS. The HR departments posting junior dev jobs are way out of touch and the market is so oversaturated to the point it is taking hundreds of applications for people to get a single offer. I'm in that boat rn with a computational physics major and minors in math and CS, I've been stuck in a catch-22 for seemingly forever now unable to land anything.
Lots of stem and computer science degrees that are underemployed.
College is not foreverybody
Jobs are hard for everybody
Amazon is hiring
I’m sorry but don’t feel sorry for them. Yes u have a college degree but where are the experience???? These kids want to start out making 6 figures. Not going to happen. Get a entry level job work your way up and stop looking for a handout.
entry level jobs are extremely competitive and difficullt to obtain, especially during a pandemic where businesses close left and right. the job market is terrible rn
I graduated college in 2020 and been trying to apply for production assistant positions at news stations / entertainment companies.
So far I’ve applied for 80 entry level jobs with only 2 interviews and emails saying that they’re looking for other people. 😬
@@Mr.JayWay exactly! Nowa days, the only way to get experience is by getting experience! Everyone knows a college degree isnt enough and that's why there's not enough internship and job opportunities to go around! Back in the day, having a degree was enough to secure a successful job but now, companies have much more higher expectations and most jobs come from connections anyways
Entry level jobs want people with experience.
@@nellieveber7738 facts
These Gen x are so entitled and lazy. Military is always recruiting 👍🏿👍🏿
No thanks, I don't want to fight some other country's problems
You need to stop pointing fingers at external things and focus on what you can do to become the version of yourself and learn to how to provide value to the professional world.
You’re not very well educated, clearly.
Maybe Gen Z needs to do more search themselves..not wait for employers to look for them.
They grew up in a era where they push a couple of buttons on Amazon and toilet paper shows up on their door step. so they don't know how to get to the work and grind.
The ones that do know how to grind and do the hard work..... well they are in STEM field anyway.. so they are not crying.
Remember graduates, you're not kids anymore. You're in the real world you need to be proactive on branding yourself as the best person for the job. Do not whine or beg for a job which will close some doors.
Was you able to find a job?
@Derrick Lyons I haven't graduated yet but will finish it all next year. Planning on getting an internship in February.
