You know it's over when even Harvard Grads are struggling to find jobs.

The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) reported a 15% decline in internship offers for 2023-2024 compared to pre-pandemic levels, with sectors like tech slashing opportunities after mass layoffs at companies like Google and Meta.
A 2023 Harvard University survey revealed that 35% of seniors struggled to secure internships, a critical gateway to employment, marking a significant rise from 20% pre-pandemic.


Student debt exacerbates the crisis, with the average borrower owing $37,338 (Education Data Initiative, 2024), while wages stagnate: entry-level salaries in fields like finance and consulting have risen just 4% since 2020, lagging far behind inflation.Harvard's Career Services now warns students about "unprecedented competition" for roles once considered guaranteed pathways to stability.

Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m a NEET that does online work, the job market is done for, even college grads that I know personally are struggling to find a job that fits their pay grade or just a job in general.

everyoneโ€™s doing STEM, and โ€œnetworkingโ€ doesnโ€™t work if everyone else comes from the same income background as you. you canโ€™t network if you go to a trash college. the โ€œamerican dreamโ€ only exists in white dominated areas with a higher average income compared to poor ethnics stuck in community college or some commuter trash. itโ€™s literally genetic determinism at hand all cause of your shit environment :forcedsmile:

iโ€™d say it depends on the job. usually, the ethnics who get hired for these kinds of positions are the best of the best, and unsurprisingly, curries and gooks tend to be these overachievers. you still need connections for these jobs, which mainly come from your environment. what are americans gonna do when more and more ethnics flood in, all competing for the same jobs? the job market for tech is already fucked, over for computersciencecels
 
No that would be a place like China, not america.
Lol what, the USA is controlled by the โ€œfree marketโ€ more than any other country in the world, it solely relies on consumerism culture with little gov intervention. Itโ€™s a disaster state

This is what happens when the kids get into colleges due to their dad's Board member status. I saw a interview of a guy he said he didn't apply to Duke University still got in because his dad was a board member of the company that was a Prominent funder.
