I guess first quarter is usually the worst time in the year to job hunt but holy shit it’s fucking bleak out here. I live in a well populated college town in the south and 90% of job listings are nursing or something highly specialized. Slim pickings for the rest of us. Feels like my biology degree is totally useless when I can’t even get a call back from McDonalds lol. I’m so cooked

Even engineers are struggling a bit right now. My sis is an engineer and she just landed a job after 9 months of unemployment after a lay off.

In a cruel irony this economy is better for baristas looking for work than it is STEM nerds. Just learn to make lattes!

Most efficient economic system, everyone!

More business than ever, but since employers are satisfied with the labor they got. Gen Z is fucked unless they are exceptionally talented (and then that exceptional becomes the expectation of gen Z. Fun)

Oh yeah, I forgot that's the new thing. Everyone and their mother is now "supposed" to learn a trade because porky decided college should not be an option anymore because....reasons. Capitalism literally wants to decide people's careers for them.

I wonder what the next excuse will be when they refuse to hire people in trades.

EDIT: Wait....inb4 social media gets flooded with the same picture of some smug military recruiter with a shit-eating grin poses at a table gloatingly gesturing at a chair.

smuglord : "Awww, the professional world didn't want you? That's okay, you can be porky's personal hitman! Have fun getting traumatized for life if you're lucky, or having your life cut short. You snowflake do-gooders care the environment, right? Think of it as solving overpopulation!"
