College is the biggest scam in the world. I have a Bachelor's in Accounting and I cannot describe to you how infuriating it is to hear from the hiring manager "You need 10+ years of experience" on top of your degree. That's what the degree is for! To at least have the ability to enter the job at entry level.
I kid you not McDonald’s rejected my application because “they are looking for long time employees” and I seem to be a person with high aspirations 💀 like bro, I aspire to eat tonight ngl
that does kind of make sense for the hiring manager though. theyre looking for consistent workers that they dont have to worry about replacing or covering for down the line. if you have an idea for a better job in the future and know thats what youll eventually do, they will lose you as an employee at some point. when someone who doesnt have plans for a different career would stay there for a longer time, not have to be replaced, and could work more since they wont need outside time for other work and training.
@@exchangAscribe Okay, but then they need to pay people a living wage for the communities where these fast food restaurants are. In the U.S. I'm told by friends who live in very expensive suburban areas that their local fast food places are always understaffed and can never find anyone specifically because the cost of rent or owning in those places is too high for the kind of people who would be working those jobs, and they don't have reliable public transportation in most of the U.S. either, so these people would also be spending a fortune on gas just to drive in and out every day to the point where it's not worth it to work there because they don't take home enough money after all the expenses of getting to work for the day.
In my opinion, people with acting degrees should be real estate agents. If you can act like a crappy little house is worth something, boom, mega bank bro.
@@lifeisactuallyveryboring.7771that’s true but context is needed. If you’re referring to people who can’t get a job, I guess everyone is a narcissist because most people are stuck in this position regardless of what degree they got because it’s just hard to get a job right now. Not the greatest economic situation going on rn.
I completely understand her. Graduated 2022 with a Bachelor’s in Graphic/Web Design. I managed to land an internship for a few months but after that… What I hate the most is that you see entry-level positions and they ask for 10+ YEARS of experience! FOR ENTRY-LEVEL! I remember scrolling LinkedIn over and over trying to find one to apply for, snd it was exhausting. And the cherry on top? Last year, I find out my college SHUT DOWN! So yeah…I’m at least working retail, which is nice. Not so much the depression that hit after finding out about the shutdown.
I've been in software engineering for about 10 years and a tip I can give you is that what they put in the job ads is rarely what they're actually looking for. If a job is labeled "entry" or "junior" level and you have some manner of experience (educational or a lot of personal or experimental experience) in at least 75% of the technologies listed on the ad, apply anyway. They're not ACTUALLY looking for stupid amounts of experience for a junior position. I don't know why hiring managers do this, maybe they just don't know what they're talking about, but the bar of entry is usually a lot lower than what the job posting says. Also, do NOT think that just because you have the degree that means you can stop improving yourself for your desired job. Keep building your skills in your free time. Take udemy courses, keep practicing and building portfolio pieces, etc. As an entry level, your portfolio is everything Also, you're not going to land your dream job for your first career job. Don't set your expectations too high. You're doing this first job to get experience for a better job, not necessarily to make a ton of money or have the coziest work/life balance Finally, you're going to get rejected by a lot of interviews. It's just the nature of the game. It took me about 8 months to land my first career job after graduating. Don't give up. Seriously, keep at it
@@jmorales6539 Nah...it' still who you know...people gotta stop being introverts in college. Network. Get out of their comfort zone. My company is constantly asking us if we know people with certain backgrounds. Because they want to hire people that can fit within the current team's dynamics. So like you said....a unicorn is when they looking for randoms...but if you know someone at the company you are trying to get into...IT REALLY HELPS
There are plenty of trades that will give you a free apprenticeship. You won’t sit in a chair all day, you’ll be running wire, welding pipe etc. Believe me, especially for men, it’s good work. You see what you accomplished every day. It’s very satisfying. I retired from the trades at 60. House, property, lots of toys, zero debt. And I don’t even have a high school diploma (I was short 1/2 credit in PE).
This is what happens when you make ppl with zero talent famous and they start earning money and all the hardworking, educated people get pushed back and real talent is neglected. smh
At this rate, I might as well make a shack in the sticks, with my own stable WiFi connection that has a funny network name. I would post vlogs about life after college, and how I am doing. Just hope my temper is under control by then, or the X-frickers(Twitter) will come after me. If they can find me! Heh! Idk, I am tired at 9 AM on a Sunday…
Bro Same. I have a Bachelor's in Biosciences. And a Master's in Healthcare Biotechnology. And everytime I apply for a job, the employers are like "Well you need at least two years of work experience". Work experience HOW? This is my first time applying. How the hell am I supposed to get "Work experience" without work? (Internships don't count by the way. They made sure to mention that).
Is it hr saying this or the actual hiring manager? If it's hr, fuck them and find the hiring manager. That's who really matters. If its the hiring manager, gather every project, paper, and anything else you have done to put into a portfolio to show you have the knowledge and skill for the position. Show them your best work. Also speak to your professors. I have gotten a job that started me in my career years ago because my professor reached out to someone they knew at one of the places I applied. They hired me because they trusted my professor to not recommend a bad candidate to them. Use all resources you have.
I was in a similar situation a few years ago. I was working at McDonalds and got laid off due to COVID and a few months later I moved a few cities over which made it difficult to return back to work as transit in my area wasn't so convenient no more. So I tried applying to near by McDonalds in hopes I would get a job because everyone seemingly was hiring, but I kept getting rejection after rejection. The reason for those rejections were that I didn't have enough experience. At one point I was actually going to cry as I thought if it's so difficult to get a minimum wage job that I have prior experience for, imagine the struggle I'd be facing once I graduated from college and was going to apply for jobs in my field.
She's probably overqualified, that's why she's getting declined. They see all her degrees and think she will be gone anywhere from in weeks or few months because she will find a job that fits her job profile.
First rule of college, always make sure the degree you're going to get the job will still be there for the next 10 years.... Imo a degree in marking is basically useless now since they are just using AI now to save costs... There is ALWAYS going to be a demand for computer scientists, not for freaking communications.
"why do they offer you a degree where you can't get a job?!" Because colleges are designed to make $$$. Not all degrees are useless but there are a good amount that are. They exist because they're trendy and to make $ for the colleges.
*That’s why I highly recommend Trade School!* You get paid to go to school (aka hands on training) in a lot of places and those jobs are always needed and are in demand!!! _Also,_ those jobs make a lot more money than people think!!! And you don’t go into a ton of debt for it!!!
Yep that's what I'm telling my son. A lot of kids that went to my trade school make 6 figures a year which is really good in Ohio and regularly get raises
Have two degrees. The one degree is in ACTING. The other is communications. There was a time I had no degree and zero certifications. I still managed to work in IT for several companies. Now I have many IT certifications and saving for a degree. I already work as an IT Solutions Architect. It's about satisfying demands in the market.
@@Dragonk116 Dont mean to be rude here, but out of curiosity should you even require a degree to apply to a coffee shop? Where would you typically get the experience- other then your own home perhaps*, to be qualified to work in one?
Acting degree can be good for IT, especially if you started as help desk. A lot of it is acting that you know what is going on and asuring the caller that it is not their fault and that everything will be fine.
But what's the difference? Unpaid internships tend to be longer than the 3 days of unpaid training she's getting. Seems like a bitch move to out the cafe that was willing to hire you over what amounts to be 3 days of learning in a cozy cafe.
@iToxicMochi an internship is where both parties agree its for learning and no permanent position is being offered. And this is to protect people from buisnesses using training as a basis of free labor, and firing you without you getting paid.
@@iToxicMochi because it's a scam companies use just to have a revolving door of free labor. Very common with shady restaurants and cafes. I've worked in those industries. There's no way you need 18 hours of training. It's more like an hour of training and a day of being shadowed
The unpaid internship is a scam. Companies just use you for labor and when it comes time to hire you, they let you go and find another intern. It's slave labor and should be illegal.
Tbh its harder to get a job nowadays. When i was looking for a job they would always tell me to place a application online and they would walk away. Nowadays jobs dont wanna see you in person but go off your experiences of jobs...i feel sorry for kids and peopple coming out of colleges and high school
Well there are a few things going on here. And it sucks 1.Your degree doesn’t mean much outside of being a tool used to separate you from people who don’t have one. 2.Your experience and job history can matter more than your degree 3.If you are in DIRE need of money, go work a job you don’t want to. Almost everyone says they can’t find even a basic job yet they never tried McDonald’s which will pay you $17 lmao. You don’t have to stay there forever. Work there until someone else calls you. 4. If you are applying to remote jobs.STOP it. You are decreasing your chances by 10 fold because of the competition 5. Revisit your resume. If you couldn’t get the last 20 or so jobs with it, change it around 6. People need to understand that having a degree NEVER guaranteed you a job. It’s more about who you know and your experiences. Only statistically does a degree offer you “better more reliable” pay I use to be a HR manager and I also was unemployed for 4 months last year. Trust me, it’s hard as hell. But sometimes you gotta try your best and change your card deck around
This makes a lot of sense and good advice that you have posted. Going back a few years I actually got turned down by KFC here in the UK and quite a few other jobs like it that I was applying for after the big redundancy so I was desperate. One interview actually highlighted my issue and it was that I was likely being perceived as over qualified and it was only the questions that lead me to come to that conclusion. Interviewer kept bringing up questions about previous work and more specifically about qualifications with questions like "what would prevent you from using this position as a stop gap and moving on in three months time" and to be fair it is a valid question. After that I changed my CV and played down the emphasis on the qualifications and in the case of two of them straight up removed them which benefited overall for getting more interviews than prior. Don't really need to mention a printing qualification for a driving job heh and it worked.
A degree doesn’t guarantee you a job. You have to know the industry, know the mission and vision, the current issues in the market and give a damn good interview!!!
God, I feel for her. After two years, I finally got a job related to my degree, but it's contract work and I am still only employed part-time. I turn 25 in three months and still live with my parents with no sign of being able to move out soon.
I'm sorry, but I'm 32 and I never found a job related to my degree after finishing my bachelors. I had to just suck it up at 27 and obtain career training for a technical field. When I was able to combine the skills that I had from my degree field studies and the new technical skills, I found good jobs. Companies expect so much more out of their employees now.
@@nikkibee187 what do you mean training in technical field? like you took some classes or worked apprentice under some people? just to learn more specific stuff related to specific jobs
@@exchangAscribe I mean, I took an entire full time online training program in computer programming and then did a capstone project of building my own web application. Then I got hired through the program by a large company in my area, where I was technically an apprentice but I was paid for all my work and I was still making more than I would have in retail or in tutoring (which required a whole Bachelors degree!) I changed my entire career field to tech, but realized that most of the project management type roles that I had been sold in my communication degree program were not going to communication graduates. They're going to people with technical backgrounds, and that's more or less what I do now, so that's what I mean by--"I still get to use most of the stuff I learned in my Bachelors that I had otherwise not been able to use, because they want people with technical skills now."
i have a Bachelor in Wildlife Biology and chemistry. couldnt find a job. went BACK to a 2 year school for Nursing and have been working ever since. TRADE SCHOOL is the way to go
@@noneyabizz8337Even if her situation is untrue, such things happen, I am an Advertising and Occupational Health and Safety technician and for a long time I couldn't find a job, even a part-time job in a store

This is one of the reasons why I’ve chosen med-school, to hopefully not deal with the ridicul-ities of nonsense like this since Doctors are always needed.
I would take it one step further...it's about FIT....They are looking to fill a team with people that could fit within the current dynamics. Resume are a dime a dozen. I tell people all the time...Dont be a introvert in college. NETWORK...build relationships. Especially with the people who have connections. Getting a job is about who you know MANY times....so if you made relationships with someone at a company you are trying to get your foot into the door at they can look out for you and get you in too.
Seriously. Her whiney crying ain’t gonna open any doors. You know she’s the type that’ll run out of the office crying the minute her boss asks her to do a task with a deadline.
Exactly, and with her smarty ass walking in to a minimum wage job with a resume trying act like she’s better than everyone else, I’d tell her I’m not hiring either, go APPLY to a job that NEEDS your COLLEGE SKILLS. She’s really not that bright. Go apply at a theatre, performing arts school. My god, I don’t even have a degree and I worked with kids and got on within the weekend. She clearly didn’t pay any attention, just did whatever her teachers said, never questioned anything or anyone and most of all probably got what she wanted with her looks. 😂😂😂 I laugh at people like her.
Connections. Everything is about connections, sadly. I was applying to entry level jobs in a field that’s missing people in my country. There’s a lack of people who can fill in the positions, and despite not having a paper of it, I knew all of the technologies needed because I learned in a bootcamp, and had hands-on experience working with them in a team of students. I was also open to learning even more, relocating, making sacrifices… and nothing. I wasn’t getting hired because I didn’t have 2-3 years of experience working with it. Well, last week I applied to a job at a local company in my town. My parents know the business owners and are on good terms with them. I do NOT have the qualifications required for the job they want me to fill in, and yet I was incited to an interview in a few days. I was the one who asked for time to think about it and whether I can do what they want me to. I said yes today and I start this month. That was it. While I’m very happy to have a job (even though it’s probably minimum wage until I learn the ropes and can fulfill the role properly), but it’s also a slap in the face. There I was working hard and learning to the best of my ability, putting in the effort and giving it my best, and I wasn’t even considered as a candidate because I didn’t have years of experience as a junior, nor did I have the connections to get me ahead. And now here I have a job that I got despite not being qualified just because of the connections. The way this world works is a real slap in the face. They say study hard and then everything will be fine, but I just don’t see it happening that way. It’s more like, make connections with the right people and everything will be okay. It’s disheartening. I’ll do my best to learn fast and make my employers not regret giving me the chance. I’m lucky enough to have this opportunity and I’ll do my best and take full advantage of it, because it simply doesn’t work any other way in the society we live in…
Most of the "friends" I've had were useless. Only had a few good friends, and they're very hard to meet from my experience. But they're not in a situation where they can help me get a job. Because of that I'm now a 38 year old loner who has always struggled to find jobs at the times when I desperately need them the most. I do have a seasonal job, but it requires insane commutes and I have a serious lack of time to myself when I'm busy, so I'm looking for full-time year round jobs closer to home. When I'm laid off (like right now) I'm barely able to pay my bills. Dozens of applications and 4 interviews over the last year, and no results.
@@pingeee Just because you come from wealth doesn't mean you're rich yourself, her parents might be telling her that she has to make her money if she wants to continue living in New York.
Nah the communication degree can be useful but I'm not sure of the jobs she is applying for. Just says minium wage. She is in new York also and I'm surprised she isn't going up and down Broadway handing those resumes to the theaters.
Outside sign "We're hiring!" Inside convo "Actually not really, we just want to lie about hiring, so we can overwork our staff with 2-3 persons jobs and collecting/selling data. Teehee."
“I, like, have, like two degrees, and, like, speak three languages, and I’m, like, so humble right now.” A Pace University communications degree in action, folks.
That is why I say " F college " and try to get yourself into a Trade/Union Job....They are always looking for new people no matter your skill level...I am a Welder/Engineer that started with no knowledge at all....While going to a Trade School, I was paid to work there/Study there and after 4 years...Im one of the highest paid Engineers in my state... If you are looking for a job, Men and Women alike, Please look into Trades...You will get hired if you show you are ready to work and learn
*I’m a high supporter of trade schools!* Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t know what that is 😕 My grandpa was a welder, and taught me. I just did it for fun though, because I have seizures and can’t have a job.
Thank god I got a union job. Every year I get a 5k raise which doesn’t feel like much but better than nothing. I’m gonna hold this down and go back to school for a degree since they’re paying
seen her videos I have 3 thoughts: 1. this rather than being a "collage problem" it's a job economy problem, companies are just getting more and more ridiculous requirements for hiring. 2. this isn't something new, it's as old as time actually, degrees can only get you so far the real job finding force is connections, I've personally seen people with PHDs struggling to find good job posstions and people without even a degree land decent paying jobs the difference was the no degree was that they had a friend/uncle/parent working in a company, so a degree combined with connections is what guarantees employments because connections means squat if you don't know what you're doing. 3. THIS IS WHAT JOB HUNTING IS!!! again if you don't have connections you literally have to spend moths sometimes even years to start a decent job, let alone one were you can use your degrees, heck is far more common for people to land a job that has NOTHING to do with your degrees, my dad for example has a bachelor's in industrial engineering but couldn't land a job on a company but a friend of his offer him a position as a math high school teacher while he land a better job... he ended up landing better and better teaching possitions in the school and earning more than most his fellow engineers that actually got hired on mediocre companies.
I disagree with the college problem part, if ppl just get a decent degree that would not happen (pref not an over populated one) 🤣 enginering, nursing, medicine, law, accounting and management, administration, electricist. But no, ppl want an art, comunication, history, acting, modern lenaguajes "degree". U literally cant land a job on those fields unless u know what you actually need to do and where to find that job
@@ernestofernandez1459 thing is, all your listed degrees ARE overpopulated, because historically are the ones that people tend to say get good jobs with stable income, which is far from the truth, rather than discarding degrees as bad you got to know the environment, for example I live at the small town in mexico called Ajijic which is a expat paradise, guys that have medicine degrees had to move to a big city (Guadalajara) because they couldn't get decent jobs, the guys who are rich? the ones with art degrees the get comissions all the time to paint murals, personal portraits and have art galleries. in my personal experience there's no "decent degree" just people that know and don't know where they can use their degree.
@@ernestofernandez1459 not really. most of my friend in computer scientist pay somebody else to make their own thesis. so they graduate with a Degree but not a skill. and unsurprisingly can't land a job because failed to do the requirement
@@hakimapgyou only need to write a thesis if you're getting a master's. Also you can still be a good programmer/developer without writing your thesis. Trust me as a guy with a computer engineering degree it's not super hard to find work within the field. And I'm not saying the job search doesn't take effort bc it does but the job prospects with a CS degree are far better than other degrees.
@@ttrey743 well maybe differ each country but in mine we must do write thesis and the final project ( software or hardware ). to find the work itself is not hard. but landing the job that require the skill is not. There is no way employer want a programmer that can't make a program right?

This is the problem when you treat education as an investment and not as a way to educate. There needs to be a shift in which people should stop treating education as an investment.
They should stop advertising it as such, you’re completely right but the reason that it works so well is that most colleges and companies make education out to be worth while and something that guarantees financial success. If we want people to change their perspective then college should stop being advertised as a career investment.
@@yourstrulli9089 It also doesn't help that many companies will only hire MBAs for higher-level positions and that many directors have degrees. There seems to be a coalition between the two, but the education industry has turned it into a causation and adjusted the prices accordingly.
When I realized that my master's degree in Applied Physics would be worthless without doing several years of unpaid internship first, I decided to quit. Just did a bachelor's and then switched my area of study. Did my MA in International Relations so I could finally study what I actually love. Started working as a freelancer content writer. Got a lot of experience and now I have a stable job that has nothing to do with my degree. Degrees are worthless. Skills promise job security in this economy.
In order to be skilled to work in the field of chosen major,you literally need to work to gain the experience at the same time during the college most of the times It's not possible for every person The job market is expecting a qualified worker straight out of uni,cause there are enough companies who don't want to waste their own resources on training
Im 15 but I was 14 when I got my first job, the lady immediately hired me and said if I can start tomorrow. It was a great job, I got free food and infinite bread, also free drinks. I quit for highschool but that was regrettable. Work was so much better than school.
Agree! I worked for 6 months before enrolling in college And also got a good offer at my dream company,but had to decline because of uni :( You feel so much more productive at work!
I saw this and it burned me cauce when i was in my 20s i used to go to shit jobs IN A SUIT doing the same thing and wouldnt get call backs sometimes. Tuff
I honestly feel like College is a scam (depending on what you're going for). I went for the other route in which that would be trades. I became a truck driver which they make BIG money. It's literally so hard to find a job nowadays at all. I have the license, I have the experience (not for trucking), and I'm more than capable of doing the work and physical labor. And yet I'm also struggling to find work. Here's the kicker though! I went to a company to work for, advancement opportunities for trucking, and I got the job. Things were looking up finally, then the second day on the job, I got laid off. For the most asinine reason possible, because I was "culturally incompatible" and I just wanted to literally explode. The stupid laws, colleges are scamming you, and the job industry is ruining peoples lives (mine included). I didn't spend thousands of dollars for a certification and a piece of paper just so I can get denied constantly by jobs that I applied for and qualified. It's beyond disgusting that the economy and the government allows this and it's legal.
Not really because the attention she’s getting from TikTok is more likely to get her money than if she hadn’t posted on TikTok. Lots of people are in the same boat as her and don’t film it on TikTok and continue to not get hired.
You can study stuff like Communication, Acting and such stuff, if and only IF you dont need a job, have connections or you already have good plan what to do. And no "I want to be a Hollywood Star" is not a "Plan". Met a lot of ppl that had study such things and ended as taxi driver, cleaner, McDonalds etc. all of them thought Company's will throw money at them because some one told them the get easy 6 figures with a philosophy degree. There may ppl that get that but they are like unicorns and 99,99% wont come even near such a position.
I can definitely understand. I have a degree, certifications and CEUs, but while I do currently have a job; I had to literally went two years jobless and only got jobs that underpaid for the cost of living. Degrees aren’t cutting it anymore and it’s really tragic to go through school and find yourself still struggling to get a job while being saddled with debt. Unless you’re going into STEM, Medical or Engineering degrees; Trade school and social media gigs are gonna land you a job more so than a degree. “Entry level” requires you to have 5+ years experience, you have to go get a Masters (aka put yourself in _MORE debt_ from loans) to get a chance, and a lot of majors are no longer viable options as degrees to earn due to jobs not even looking at the major being worth it.
As a person who never went to college and now owns an LLC I gotta say it's situational. Some jobs are better to be learned on the job but some very specific careers like surgeons require the trainning before getting on the job. But like accounting or like half of all construction jobs can be learned on the spot.
HELL NAW, im literally starting my undergrad first year at nyu in a couple of months and im terrified that this is gonna happen to me too T_T (altho im majoring in CS which idk is better or worse for employment). also to prevent this im planning on taking a lot of internships as a student so it hopefully works out 🙏😭
Learn to get really good at Adobe suite, after effects, and photoshop. Video editing is in high demand, can be done remotely, and pays really well. I work with a video editor and he makes $50 an hour. He does not have a degree. In NYC, video editing is always going to be in demand if you intend to stay there
@@veronis I knew what you meant. The AI addition was just a tidbit. Even with all the new grads there still are a ton of software related jobs out there and this is coming for someone with a computer engineering degree who works in the industry. There is still a good amount of demand for programmers/software developers. And yes internships help but it's not completely necessary bc as you progress in your coursework your classes will have demanding assignments that will give you some level of experience. Though still not as good as an internship but at least it's some experiences that you can discuss in an interview setting.
honestly, I'd have taken it. 18 hours is nothing if job is promised. In this video she probably wasted more than 18 hours crying and making tiktoks. I had to do 6 months of unpaid intern (my employer did give me a place to stay for 6 months rent free with free wifi so not unpaid in convetional way).
@@kartikpintuI would be skeptical because I have seen places do this, not in nyc, and then not hire you. They needed something done and got free labor to do it. They make no promises nor sign a contract stating you will be hired after this "training /trial" period.
even I'll be honest growing up my fam always told me I had a good head on my shoulders, as long as I got honors I'd go places (which i did get) but problem is, because of also medical issues no one would hire me because it's like "why hire her when I can hire someone who can do more?" especially back then. and I'm 30. thing is, I'm on SSI and SSDI but I do my own little work. so that way I'm not doing nothing. but I felt really lied too growing up. that if you passed with honors and did what you had to do, that you'd get where you want but problem is, it's not like that at all. School really doesn't teach you for life it just teaches you the basics of what life is and math and science and history but when you're in high school ready to graduate they have no classes to teach you to literally prepare for life after school.....which is bad
That really is unfair that people wouldn’t hire you because of your medical issues. Like I highly doubt they would lose profit from the little bit of work you can’t do. Some good news is that we’re starting to get courses in high schools to prepare kids for life. At my high school, we have co-op which is basically the same as an internship. After, we put the experience on our resumes and kids are often offered jobs from their supervisors. We also have a course for life management, and an essential math course that teaches us how to do taxes, bills, etc. Right now in life management we’re discussing the rise of young adults living at home because of high rent costs and expensive post-secondary education.

College isn’t a scam. If you’re not learning skills that people need, that you pretty much might need to be an entrepreneur to survive, you make it hard for yourself to find the job that you want as a career.
Yes and no, Even when you do get a college degree in the major that you wanted, chances are those majors will not be in high demand and will be hard for you to search for that job major, Basically when u can't find it, You just wasted over 60k$ of student loan debt by getting a useless degree which you couldn't even find the job for, But if your majoring in the most needed areas in the work force in college, It's easier to find one, But the ones that are not in high demand, You won't barely find any jobs in that field.
Seeing these things makes me so happy that I have parents that are willing to take care of me if there are no jobs for me. I'm happy I'm learning of these scams while still in highschool so I have time to plan. Fun fact: if you go to a Finnish college and study in either Finnish or Swedish instead of English, you're exempt from tuition fees. How helpful that is depends on if you can take classes online overseas, but I feel like it's just good to know.
Being a social media influencer is like winning the lottery. It takes no skill, talent, or work, you just have to have enough people like you doing things literally anyone could do (like complaining into a phone for two minutes) that advertisers will pay for it. Of course people want it, but they shouldn't. Such a thing only makes for lesser people.
You sound like someone who buys in to the bullshit sold by many people, but which is actually factually inaccurate in many ways - Takes no skill or talent: This is a huge lie. It requires something that many people don't have and would find even harder to learn... Being entertaining. You aren't going to get anywhere unless you happen to be someone people want to watch. Ones where people do inane shit don't really make it big that often, it's even less likely than ordinary streamers etc. - Takes no work: Most people who stream or upload videos end up dedicating their life to it. They have to put far, far more hours into it to actually put content out there and remain relevant. If they take a break, they risk losing viewers, if they receive account bans for things 'other' people complain about or inaccurately copy strike etc, then they can lose a lot of money. It takes a LOT of work, which usually causes burn out in the individual, same with doing anything upwards of 16-18 hours a day, 7 days a week. Hell, look at bans... You put something out that say, Twitch doesn't like and get a ban? I recall seeing a video on this... A 2 week ban means that half of your subs will be stopped and won't start over unless the person actively resubs to you. So instantly, half of your userbase is gone, meaning half your potential income. Of which, how many are realistically going to resub? First and foremost, even gamer streamers etc, have to be ENTERTAINERS more than anything else. That's not a thing that comes naturally to many people. You are correct that it's like winning the lottery though. Most people earn nothing, or next to it. It's the new 'I want to be a rock star' pipe dream job.

It doesn't matter if no ne else is harmed by what you have gained, you have harmed yourself by cheating yourself of the personal growth the work would have caused in you. If you'd like to engage with what I'm talking about, do so. There's no point agreeing with yourself on something no one disagreed with you over.
Yep, that’s the situation I’m in. I have 2 certifications for IT (CompTIA ITF+ and CompTIA A+), and 4 years of experience running my own business. But, because I’m under 20, places don’t want to hire me because the lazy half of gen z (hate to say half but it’s very true) has completely ruined the job market for the rest of us. “We don’t want to hire you because you’ll probably just sit around and hit your vape all shift”. Well, no actually, I want to work. I want money, and experience. Hell, I can work 40 fuckin hours a week because I don’t go in-person to school! Oh? You don’t count making 10k from fixing electronics/building computers because I was running my own business and was under 18? Well, fuck you then.
Go for network+ and security+ . Not bashing you but I heard the ITF+ really doesn’t mean anything to companies. It’s just fundamentals. That’s all. A+ as well. Keep applying though bro.
It’s gonna hurt companies in the future when there’s gonna be a lack of experienced workers (different to educated workers) markets due to them refusing to hire people without experience
I am in this position rn, and this is the hardest trial that I've had in a long time. I am not giving up, but I will admit that it is absolutely ridiculous that employers are being so restricted about being overqualified with everything. I just don't know what else to do after applying to 10+ jobs.
As a gemini man i got my high school diploma and started to work for my self. My goal was not to work for controled by others. wanted too be in controle of my time and destiny. And i hate doing repetitive work i like doing a bit of everything like a free lancer
I remember walking into a Starbucks once and a whole group of girls where at a table doing flash cards with each other. Basically they were training or preparing to take some sort of batista test before they could work for the company. It's like bartending. You HAVE to study and train so you don't screw up a very sensitive position. Coffee is not that serious but with millions of ways to make 5 drinks......ya you need to study that stuff. As for the "unpaid" part of it I'm not sure if they were getting paid or not but I imagine not. I think they were doing it on their own time partially because they were not in uniform at all. This is also what the person could OR COULD NOT mean about "training" I'm just saying that this process is normal if that's what he ment.
These days, simply applying for jobs won't get you anywhere, it is all about networking/connections. I mean, of course you should continue to apply for jobs, but knowing people who can refer you is a huge advantage than you know.
I know it's different in the US but here in Canada the job market is oversaturated with useless degrees. I finished my Masters back in 2016 so it was easier for me to find a job. I have two younger siblings who are the same age that both finished their undergrads in 2022. My brother went to Uni for Nuclear Engineering and my sister did Hospitality and Tourism Management, can you guess which one had a job lined up before they even graduated? Some people need to realize a degree does not guarantee a job and some degrees are utterly worthless.
Amazon is always hiring... Blue collar and manual labor isn't anything to feel bad to work in. It's honest money while you figure yourself out and how you can fit in the workforce.
Idk about yall, but im going into education major next year. At an affordable school, for a degree in high demand, after taking college classes paid by my highschool, and already having tons of experience with education. So yeah school system is wack, but I know what I want, I'm not getting scammed by college, and I know my dreams are actually going to get me a job. So I'd say school isn't a scam at all, just extremely flawed. (One reason to go into education)
Two of the most useless degrees: Communications and Acting. No one needs "basic thinking/reading" degrees like History and English, either. Degrees like this are a scam and should be ended or reformed drastically to make them useful in the currect tech-climate. And that's the problem, all of these things can be learned online. Someone failed her immensely, namely the university/college system, as did her family and friends. There is no job that is looking for any of the mentioned degrees unless you plan on becoming a professor or teacher in those topics. It's mindblowing to think such degrees are even allowed to exist now. How haven't they reformed these degrees to match the current, even 20 year old, job climate? Office work is a funnel for all of these degrees and it's infuriating how trash it all is for getting you a job.
In Germany companies want people to start working at 16. Schools usually even prepare kids to start working at 16 or earlier. My mum started as a bank clerk with 16 as an example. Further educations are usually being seen as bad. It’s like they don’t want you because when you finish college with idk 19 or 20 you’re „too old“ already. What I figured out that companies want (at least here) is rather that they want young people who will work as long as possible who also got as much actual work experience as possible. I only got one of my jobs because I worked as a helper for one of my teachers companies during college. And I studied Graphic and Media Design 😫 My other classmates did not found any job (though they also mostly applied to large design agencies who are really picky anyways) and none except one found a job. That one person applied for a small start-up t-Shirt printing company
That’s actually not true. I’m living in Germany and absolutely nobody wants you to start your job at 16. In Germany the job situation got so bad for the employers(!) and not the employees. Nowadays you can’t find anyone who’s willing to work for you. Don’t just study something what isn’t needed.
Yup. Currently got a company that hires kids from high school because schools here make kids get a first job experience to understand how everything works and so that they can learn actual things. School normally does not teach you everything. You will keep learning even when you have a job.
@@loisen then you’re probably from a different part of Germany. Where I come from it’s really hard to get a job or apprenticeship when you’re older than 20. many of my friends and people I know struggled many years to get anything at all. And students from the colleges I used to go have had a really hard time finding jobs at all. Mainly due to the reason that they’re „students“ And on top of that. That’s just a personal experience but that no one wants to work for employers might be caused due to a lot of young people rather going to study something like programming, game design, design in general, lectureship etc. instead of going to work. Those who did not tried getting a job at most my old colleges were really work lazy at times.
It used to. World War II soldiers who took advantage of the GI Bill got college degrees when most people didn't have them, and they had it made with a college degree. My wife's grandpa grew up in a dirt-poor farm family and ended up a very wealthy executive for Exxon, courtesy of the GI Bill and a Bachelor's Degree.
This makes me feel all warm inside 😅 most college graduates act like they are better then lower level graduates/ged/dropout people. Humble urself & learn how life works. Course even college cant give u common sense.
She would probably have a lot more luck getting hired at those places (coffee shops, Fast food, Walmart, etc) if she DIDN'T go around with a stack of her 2 degrees. Any potential employer's will immediately think shes overqualified, which places hate. Because overqualified people will usually become resentful very quickly. Angry at the job, angry at life, constantly trying to order people around, always complaining, etc.
1:03 I'm really good at Super Smash Bros and I grow greens for my rabbits. Oh wait, were we not just listing off things that are completely irrelevant to landing a job?

They're basically crappy $50k paperweights. 1:11 "I just wanna be a tiktoker" Translation: "I just wanna be a useless schlub that contributes nothing of value to humanity" Yeah, living in New York is her problem. I live in Orlando and here, you could trip and fall into a Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts and get a job offer. They're literally closing restaurants around me because they can't get anyone to work there. Edit: I agree with Pegasus on just about everything. I do feel for her and I do feel the education system is lying to and scamming impressionable teens and taking advantage of their lack of world knowledge. Honestly, I think this girl is likely working off of a lot of bad advice. She also seems like a bit of an idiot, ngl, but she is definitely being influenced by a lot of bad advice.
I dont feel bad for her. Job searching is not just about your degrees, its about who you know, how you present yourself, and your skills and interests beyond what you went to college for. The degree gives you the ability to gain more experience, meet mentors, and help you guys those internships or broader opportunities. You take a job thats not in your field when you need one and guess what? Your background improves because of that because youre not just a one trick pony
Life happened kinda messy and I ended up not going to college but working in restaurants and that's been the best . Definitely not as a server. I started as a dishwasher and eventually got taught how to prep and do much much more. By the end of my first restaurant job I was making a decent wage well above minimum wage and was making all the desserts and on the line putting together the salads and desserts. Now I don't struggle to find restaurant work and I have life skills. When in doubt starting from the bottom (but not really because being a dishwasher is an important job and if you're good at it you'll be treated very well and be respected in the kitchen) and working your way up can always be an option. Try not to see as just work but like a fun learning experience 🤷 I'd get excited to learn how to do new things and I had favorites I enjoyed making. 😅 The cleaning aspect doesn't have to be awful either. It can be really relaxing and fun when you've got good music and a nice cold soda. It's pretty good feeling to be like "look what I can do" and leave the restaurant looking better than when you started. Everyone will love you and you can be assured that the food is safe to eat
She said she applied to jobs and the people there said they are not hiring... how tf did she applied to jobs that are not hiring in the first place that is fishy asf i think shes faking it...
She explained it. She walks into a store and asks to see the manager. She didn't say it has a Now Hiring sign in the widow. That's what people did when I was in high school. That's what she said she did ten years ago. That's what she's doing now.
If you really want a job based on your degree you really need to reconsider what degrees you’re wasting your time with. Also if you are stuck without work try learning something online like coding or similar , or get a trade, forget social media crap.
Get a side job/ passive income, when you are young and also get work experience younger too since jobs needing specialist (like a doctor) like to have references to hire people
it takes 7 years MINIMUM to become a doctor and specialist doctors take at least 4 years longer then that. and that's if you even pass the mcat test and have money for it. you can't just "start younger" to become a doctor. heck even nursing school is hard to get into for an average person. and how do you recommend someone with nothing start making "passive income"? because ever video i've watched you need at least a $2-5k buffer to even attempt a side Hussle for passive income unless you already have social based skills like online marketing. lastly, what side jobs can you work for 4-5 hours night shifts that are actually hiring?
@@Zenikai_ talk about work experience, I just used a doctor as an example chill. Also there is also aton of ways to get passive income like something like pateon, maybe a revision pack for schools idk, people gotta do there things. I am talking about this from a money standpoint only and to be financially before you have to move out the maybe passive income can help also less students loans too.
@@Cyber_element_lz yea that's why i asked how do you get passive income. because it's not something that just happens. and if it was so easy to do, everyone would be doing it. yes patreon is passive income, but you need to have a fan base of some sort to even gain $1. which is a form of online marketing. a skill that most teens dont have.
The thing I hate with companies when they post job openings is when you apply and get a rejection email saying they’re moving on with other candidates, a week or two later they repost the job openings.

Everyone I know who moved to New York to pursue acting found work right away. None of them had more no experience than a high school play and a dream. Commercials and stage bring in a lot of money. I guess the competition would be stiff in New York but you got to go where the work is.
It's impossible to get by in NYC without serious money. Thank you for your hilarious and very true accounts of Gen Z stupidity. Never seen anything like the things that are happening on social media! It's refreshing to see a young person who sees these things as the utter absurdities that they are. Some of these Tik Toks are unreal. I'm actually a Gen X girl, so I've been around since the late 70s. The degradation of human decency that I've witnessed in my lifetime is nothing short of voluminous. Thanks for the great videos!! I'm gonna keep watching!
Security guard companies are always hiring. Everyday. She could easily get a Security Operations Command position with a communication degree. That pays at least 25/ hr .
I've learned more about programming and IT from online courses and free youtube videos in a quarter of the time it would take me to learn it and get a master's degree at a college and at the fraction of the cost.
I would be hesitant to hire her too. Not because of her qualifications (You can actually do a lot with a Communications degree, obviously much less with an Acting degree. So it's like 1 useful degree out of 2). My issue is her propensity to film her work/interactions. Scoring social clout will be her thing, I'm pretty sure of it. And I can't risk hiring a troublemaker.
i don't imagine it helps finding a job when your all over social media being vocal about everything, that kind of scares off alot of employers and rightly so, your a huge risk and potentially liability to there company if you go around saying the wrong things.
this is why i need to preach, IF YOUR GOING TO COLLEGE, Look up what job you want before you go spending money on a degree, see what you need to learn to get the job or else your going to be in a rude awakening when you get the wrong degree or you get a degree that doesnt make money, like getting a degree in political science, what, that doesnt make you money, thats not a job
Idk but I think that it‘s our responsibility to check the job market and availability BEFORE we start studying. If you study something where the market is already oversaturated (like communications) and something that is pretty risky (acting) you can‘t expect financial stability. Furthermore, New York is tough. If you can‘t find a job there look somewhere else? It might be necessary to move, but not everyone can live and work in NY… at some point it‘s just oversaturated…
No one “deserves” anything. Life doesn’t work like that. You do the best you can to position yourself for success but it certainly isn’t guaranteed. Good people get shafted everyday. I hate it and it sucks but that’s just the way it is. Pretending otherwise doesn’t make it so. We need to get out of this communal victim mindset.
3 people in my family are actively looking for work and are getting nothing. I'm the one who didn't get a college degree. I have zero debt. I invested as much of my money as I could, so I'm still making some money without a job.
I have a degree in Tech/IT so you would think getting a job or even an interview is easy, but I've applied for over 700 jobs now and counting and have only had 1 interview which didnt go anywhere.
The market is flooded with IT degrees...mostly h1b's working for half of what you'd ask for. Now that tech is laying off, ya might need to branch out to other opportunities
Her biggest problem at this point is she is clueless as to how to find a job in the age of the internet. It's not difficult, but this generation has no common sense when it comes to adulting. This is a direct result of helicopter parenting and being coddled, instead of learn that life has sharp edges that are unavoidable. I weep for our future.
@@caitlingillI'm being hyperbolic, you can find jobs with consulting firms and media outlets, it's just hard for a lot of people to find jobs in that field. Sometimes it just depends on where you live, you might have to look abroad for a good job and then move to it.
Both useless she should have done nursing or finance you can’t get anything with an acting degree unless you got shit load of connections in the industry 😂
I can't say about the acting degree, but the communications degree should be a big boost for landing an entry level job at some company doing HR or marketing. Actually, some of those liberal arts degrees are better than science degrees in that regard. A company doesn't care if you can explain the Krebs cycle, they care that you can communicate effectively with clients. She probably just has to take that one dude's advice and apply outside of Manhattan.
The problem is saturation. Too many people with those degrees fighting for a relatively small number of jobs. And the economy is contracting, so the layoffs are gonna get worse. The h1bs work for less pay as well...
College is the biggest scam in the world. I have a Bachelor's in Accounting and I cannot describe to you how infuriating it is to hear from the hiring manager "You need 10+ years of experience" on top of your degree. That's what the degree is for! To at least have the ability to enter the job at entry level.
Should answer, "I'm an adult so yeah I got more than 10 years of experience in life." XD

McDonald's needs to calm down. They don't pay enough for "long-term" employees.
that does kind of make sense for the hiring manager though. theyre looking for consistent workers that they dont have to worry about replacing or covering for down the line.
if you have an idea for a better job in the future and know thats what youll eventually do, they will lose you as an employee at some point.
when someone who doesnt have plans for a different career would stay there for a longer time, not have to be replaced, and could work more since they wont need outside time for other work and training.
@@exchangAscribe Okay, but then they need to pay people a living wage for the communities where these fast food restaurants are. In the U.S. I'm told by friends who live in very expensive suburban areas that their local fast food places are always understaffed and can never find anyone specifically because the cost of rent or owning in those places is too high for the kind of people who would be working those jobs, and they don't have reliable public transportation in most of the U.S. either, so these people would also be spending a fortune on gas just to drive in and out every day to the point where it's not worth it to work there because they don't take home enough money after all the expenses of getting to work for the day.

Graduated 2022 with a Bachelor’s in Graphic/Web Design. I managed to land an internship for a few months but after that…
What I hate the most is that you see entry-level positions and they ask for 10+ YEARS of experience! FOR ENTRY-LEVEL! I remember scrolling LinkedIn over and over trying to find one to apply for, snd it was exhausting.
And the cherry on top? Last year, I find out my college SHUT DOWN! So yeah…I’m at least working retail, which is nice. Not so much the depression that hit after finding out about the shutdown.
NGL...that sounds like a tough niche market.
I've been in software engineering for about 10 years and a tip I can give you is that what they put in the job ads is rarely what they're actually looking for. If a job is labeled "entry" or "junior" level and you have some manner of experience (educational or a lot of personal or experimental experience) in at least 75% of the technologies listed on the ad, apply anyway. They're not ACTUALLY looking for stupid amounts of experience for a junior position. I don't know why hiring managers do this, maybe they just don't know what they're talking about, but the bar of entry is usually a lot lower than what the job posting says.
Also, do NOT think that just because you have the degree that means you can stop improving yourself for your desired job. Keep building your skills in your free time. Take udemy courses, keep practicing and building portfolio pieces, etc. As an entry level, your portfolio is everything
Also, you're not going to land your dream job for your first career job. Don't set your expectations too high. You're doing this first job to get experience for a better job, not necessarily to make a ton of money or have the coziest work/life balance
Finally, you're going to get rejected by a lot of interviews. It's just the nature of the game. It took me about 8 months to land my first career job after graduating. Don't give up. Seriously, keep at it

The reason for those rejections were that I didn't have enough experience. At one point I was actually going to cry as I thought if it's so difficult to get a minimum wage job that I have prior experience for, imagine the struggle I'd be facing once I graduated from college and was going to apply for jobs in my field.

"why do they offer you a degree where you can't get a job?!" Because colleges are designed to make $$$. Not all degrees are useless but there are a good amount that are. They exist because they're trendy and to make $ for the colleges.

Have two degrees. The one degree is in ACTING. The other is communications. There was a time I had no degree and zero certifications. I still managed to work in IT for several companies. Now I have many IT certifications and saving for a degree. I already work as an IT Solutions Architect. It's about satisfying demands in the market.
Yeah for some reason most people dont understand this.

@@Dragonk116 Dont mean to be rude here, but out of curiosity should you even require a degree to apply to a coffee shop? Where would you typically get the experience- other then your own home perhaps*, to be qualified to work in one?
College degrees don’t matter if ur degree is in AcTinG
Acting degree can be good for IT, especially if you started as help desk. A lot of it is acting that you know what is going on and asuring the caller that it is not their fault and that everything will be fine.
Yes training is considered you doing a labor, if it isn't an internship unpaid training is illegal
But what's the difference? Unpaid internships tend to be longer than the 3 days of unpaid training she's getting. Seems like a bitch move to out the cafe that was willing to hire you over what amounts to be 3 days of learning in a cozy cafe.
@iToxicMochi an internship is where both parties agree its for learning and no permanent position is being offered. And this is to protect people from buisnesses using training as a basis of free labor, and firing you without you getting paid.
@@iToxicMochi because it's a scam companies use just to have a revolving door of free labor. Very common with shady restaurants and cafes. I've worked in those industries. There's no way you need 18 hours of training. It's more like an hour of training and a day of being shadowed
Yes training is considered you doing a labor, if it isn't an intership unpaid training is illegal
The unpaid internship is a scam. Companies just use you for labor and when it comes time to hire you, they let you go and find another intern. It's slave labor and should be illegal.
Tbh its harder to get a job nowadays. When i was looking for a job they would always tell me to place a application online and they would walk away. Nowadays jobs dont wanna see you in person but go off your experiences of jobs...i feel sorry for kids and peopple coming out of colleges and high school
Well there are a few things going on here. And it sucks
1.Your degree doesn’t mean much outside of being a tool used to separate you from people who don’t have one.
2.Your experience and job history can matter more than your degree
3.If you are in DIRE need of money, go work a job you don’t want to. Almost everyone says they can’t find even a basic job yet they never tried McDonald’s which will pay you $17 lmao. You don’t have to stay there forever. Work there until someone else calls you.
4. If you are applying to remote jobs.STOP it. You are decreasing your chances by 10 fold because of the competition
5. Revisit your resume. If you couldn’t get the last 20 or so jobs with it, change it around
6. People need to understand that having a degree NEVER guaranteed you a job. It’s more about who you know and your experiences. Only statistically does a degree offer you “better more reliable” pay
I use to be a HR manager and I also was unemployed for 4 months last year. Trust me, it’s hard as hell. But sometimes you gotta try your best and change your card deck around

This makes a lot of sense and good advice that you have posted.
Going back a few years I actually got turned down by KFC here in the UK and quite a few other jobs like it that I was applying for after the big redundancy so I was desperate.
One interview actually highlighted my issue and it was that I was likely being perceived as over qualified and it was only the questions that lead me to come to that conclusion.
Interviewer kept bringing up questions about previous work and more specifically about qualifications with questions like "what would prevent you from using this position as a stop gap and moving on in three months time" and to be fair it is a valid question.
After that I changed my CV and played down the emphasis on the qualifications and in the case of two of them straight up removed them which benefited overall for getting more interviews than prior.
Don't really need to mention a printing qualification for a driving job heh and it worked.
I make content
I eat the cotton candy from my walls
A degree doesn’t guarantee you a job. You have to know the industry, know the mission and vision, the current issues in the market and give a damn good interview!!!

I changed my entire career field to tech, but realized that most of the project management type roles that I had been sold in my communication degree program were not going to communication graduates.

It really doesn't matter about degrees.... its all about the personality if you get any job, they have to like you.

I tell people all the time...Dont be a introvert in college. NETWORK...build relationships. Especially with the people who have connections. Getting a job is about who you know MANY times....so if you made relationships with someone at a company you are trying to get your foot into the door at they can look out for you and get you in too.

Exactly, and with her smarty ass walking in to a minimum wage job with a resume trying act like she’s better than everyone else, I’d tell her I’m not hiring either, go APPLY to a job that NEEDS your COLLEGE SKILLS. She’s really not that bright. Go apply at a theatre, performing arts school. My god, I don’t even have a degree and I worked with kids and got on within the weekend. She clearly didn’t pay any attention, just did whatever her teachers said, never questioned anything or anyone and most of all probably got what she wanted with her looks. 😂😂😂 I laugh at people like her.
Connections. Everything is about connections, sadly.
I was applying to entry level jobs in a field that’s missing people in my country. There’s a lack of people who can fill in the positions, and despite not having a paper of it, I knew all of the technologies needed because I learned in a bootcamp, and had hands-on experience working with them in a team of students. I was also open to learning even more, relocating, making sacrifices… and nothing. I wasn’t getting hired because I didn’t have 2-3 years of experience working with it.
Well, last week I applied to a job at a local company in my town. My parents know the business owners and are on good terms with them. I do NOT have the qualifications required for the job they want me to fill in, and yet I was incited to an interview in a few days. I was the one who asked for time to think about it and whether I can do what they want me to. I said yes today and I start this month.
That was it. While I’m very happy to have a job (even though it’s probably minimum wage until I learn the ropes and can fulfill the role properly), but it’s also a slap in the face. There I was working hard and learning to the best of my ability, putting in the effort and giving it my best, and I wasn’t even considered as a candidate because I didn’t have years of experience as a junior, nor did I have the connections to get me ahead. And now here I have a job that I got despite not being qualified just because of the connections. The way this world works is a real slap in the face. They say study hard and then everything will be fine, but I just don’t see it happening that way. It’s more like, make connections with the right people and everything will be okay. It’s disheartening.
I’ll do my best to learn fast and make my employers not regret giving me the chance. I’m lucky enough to have this opportunity and I’ll do my best and take full advantage of it, because it simply doesn’t work any other way in the society we live in…
Most of the "friends" I've had were useless. Only had a few good friends, and they're very hard to meet from my experience. But they're not in a situation where they can help me get a job. Because of that I'm now a 38 year old loner who has always struggled to find jobs at the times when I desperately need them the most.
I do have a seasonal job, but it requires insane commutes and I have a serious lack of time to myself when I'm busy, so I'm looking for full-time year round jobs closer to home. When I'm laid off (like right now) I'm barely able to pay my bills. Dozens of applications and 4 interviews over the last year, and no results.

seen her videos I have 3 thoughts:
1. this rather than being a "collage problem" it's a job economy problem, companies are just getting more and more ridiculous requirements for hiring.
2. this isn't something new, it's as old as time actually, degrees can only get you so far the real job finding force is connections, I've personally seen people with PHDs struggling to find good job posstions and people without even a degree land decent paying jobs the difference was the no degree was that they had a friend/uncle/parent working in a company, so a degree combined with connections is what guarantees employments because connections means squat if you don't know what you're doing.
3. THIS IS WHAT JOB HUNTING IS!!! again if you don't have connections you literally have to spend moths sometimes even years to start a decent job, let alone one were you can use your degrees, heck is far more common for people to land a job that has NOTHING to do with your degrees, my dad for example has a bachelor's in industrial engineering but couldn't land a job on a company but a friend of his offer him a position as a math high school teacher while he land a better job... he ended up landing better and better teaching possitions in the school and earning more than most his fellow engineers that actually got hired on mediocre companies.
I disagree with the college problem part, if ppl just get a decent degree that would not happen (pref not an over populated one) 🤣 enginering, nursing, medicine, law, accounting and management, administration, electricist. But no, ppl want an art, comunication, history, acting, modern lenaguajes "degree". U literally cant land a job on those fields unless u know what you actually need to do and where to find that job
@@ernestofernandez1459 thing is, all your listed degrees ARE overpopulated, because historically are the ones that people tend to say get good jobs with stable income, which is far from the truth, rather than discarding degrees as bad you got to know the environment, for example I live at the small town in mexico called Ajijic which is a expat paradise, guys that have medicine degrees had to move to a big city (Guadalajara) because they couldn't get decent jobs, the guys who are rich? the ones with art degrees the get comissions all the time to paint murals, personal portraits and have art galleries. in my personal experience there's no "decent degree" just people that know and don't know where they can use their degree.

This is the problem when you treat education as an investment and not as a way to educate. There needs to be a shift in which people should stop treating education as an investment.
They should stop advertising it as such, you’re completely right but the reason that it works so well is that most colleges and companies make education out to be worth while and something that guarantees financial success. If we want people to change their perspective then college should stop being advertised as a career investment.
@@yourstrulli9089 It also doesn't help that many companies will only hire MBAs for higher-level positions and that many directors have degrees. There seems to be a coalition between the two, but the education industry has turned it into a causation and adjusted the prices accordingly.

And yet I'm also struggling to find work. Here's the kicker though! I went to a company to work for, advancement opportunities for trucking, and I got the job. Things were looking up finally, then the second day on the job, I got laid off. For the most asinine reason possible, because I was "culturally incompatible" and I just wanted to literally explode. The stupid laws, colleges are scamming you, and the job industry is ruining peoples lives (mine included). I didn't spend thousands of dollars for a certification and a piece of paper just so I can get denied constantly by jobs that I applied for and qualified.

After, we put the experience on our resumes and kids are often offered jobs from their supervisors.

College isn’t a scam. If you’re not learning skills that people need, that you pretty much might need to be an entrepreneur to survive, you make it hard for yourself to find the job that you want as a career.
Yes and no, Even when you do get a college degree in the major that you wanted, chances are those majors will not be in high demand and will be hard for you to search for that job major, Basically when u can't find it, You just wasted over 60k$ of student loan debt by getting a useless degree which you couldn't even find the job for, But if your majoring in the most needed areas in the work force in college, It's easier to find one, But the ones that are not in high demand, You won't barely find any jobs in that field.
Seeing these things makes me so happy that I have parents that are willing to take care of me if there are no jobs for me. I'm happy I'm learning of these scams while still in highschool so I have time to plan. Fun fact: if you go to a Finnish college and study in either Finnish or Swedish instead of English, you're exempt from tuition fees.

Being a social media influencer is like winning the lottery. It takes no skill, talent, or work, you just have to have enough people like you doing things literally anyone could do (like complaining into a phone for two minutes) that advertisers will pay for it. Of course people want it, but they shouldn't. Such a thing only makes for lesser people.
You sound like someone who buys in to the bullshit sold by many people, but which is actually factually inaccurate in many ways
- Takes no skill or talent: This is a huge lie. It requires something that many people don't have and would find even harder to learn... Being entertaining. You aren't going to get anywhere unless you happen to be someone people want to watch. Ones where people do inane shit don't really make it big that often, it's even less likely than ordinary streamers etc.
- Takes no work: Most people who stream or upload videos end up dedicating their life to it. They have to put far, far more hours into it to actually put content out there and remain relevant. If they take a break, they risk losing viewers, if they receive account bans for things 'other' people complain about or inaccurately copy strike etc, then they can lose a lot of money. It takes a LOT of work, which usually causes burn out in the individual, same with doing anything upwards of 16-18 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Hell, look at bans... You put something out that say, Twitch doesn't like and get a ban? I recall seeing a video on this... A 2 week ban means that half of your subs will be stopped and won't start over unless the person actively resubs to you. So instantly, half of your userbase is gone, meaning half your potential income. Of which, how many are realistically going to resub?
First and foremost, even gamer streamers etc, have to be ENTERTAINERS more than anything else. That's not a thing that comes naturally to many people.
You are correct that it's like winning the lottery though. Most people earn nothing, or next to it. It's the new 'I want to be a rock star' pipe dream job.
There's nothing inherently immoral about wanting to be an influencer. It's just a bad gamble, because as you say, there's a lot of luck involved.
@@hoi-polloi1863 Tell me you don't understand the value of work to one's character, without actually saying that.
@@fusionspace175 It's an oversaturated market. Luck will play a huge role -- do you really think there's a 1-1 relationship between "how hard you work" and "going viral"? Pegasus was just saying how he'd seen innumerable videos just like this girl's, and they didn't get 23 million views.
@@hoi-polloi1863 Why did you ignore my point to tell me useless information? You said it's not inherently wrong to want reward for no work, and I tried to explain to you how that isn't true. It doesn't matter if no ne else is harmed by what you have gained, you have harmed yourself by cheating yourself of the personal growth the work would have caused in you. If you'd like to engage with what I'm talking about, do so. There's no point agreeing with yourself on something no one disagreed with you over.
Yep, that’s the situation I’m in. I have 2 certifications for IT (CompTIA ITF+ and CompTIA A+), and 4 years of experience running my own business. But, because I’m under 20, places don’t want to hire me because the lazy half of gen z (hate to say half but it’s very true) has completely ruined the job market for the rest of us. “We don’t want to hire you because you’ll probably just sit around and hit your vape all shift”. Well, no actually, I want to work. I want money, and experience. Hell, I can work 40 fuckin hours a week because I don’t go in-person to school! Oh? You don’t count making 10k from fixing electronics/building computers because I was running my own business and was under 18? Well, fuck you then.
Also COLLEGE IS A SCAM FUCK YOU COLLEGEBOARD
Grow your business bro! You’ve got the opportunity to keep building something all on your own and not be beholden to someone else!
You got this! 😎
Go for network+ and security+ . Not bashing you but I heard the ITF+ really doesn’t mean anything to companies. It’s just fundamentals. That’s all.
A+ as well. Keep applying though bro.
It’s gonna hurt companies in the future when there’s gonna be a lack of experienced workers (different to educated workers) markets due to them refusing to hire people without experience
I am in this position rn, and this is the hardest trial that I've had in a long time. I am not giving up, but I will admit that it is absolutely ridiculous that employers are being so restricted about being overqualified with everything. I just don't know what else to do after applying to 10+ jobs.
As a gemini man i got my high school diploma and started to work for my self. My goal was not to work for controled by others. wanted too be in controle of my time and destiny. And i hate doing repetitive work i like doing a bit of everything like a free lancer
I remember walking into a Starbucks once and a whole group of girls where at a table doing flash cards with each other. Basically they were training or preparing to take some sort of batista test before they could work for the company. It's like bartending. You HAVE to study and train so you don't screw up a very sensitive position. Coffee is not that serious but with millions of ways to make 5 drinks......ya you need to study that stuff. As for the "unpaid" part of it I'm not sure if they were getting paid or not but I imagine not. I think they were doing it on their own time partially because they were not in uniform at all. This is also what the person could OR COULD NOT mean about "training" I'm just saying that this process is normal if that's what he ment.
These days, simply applying for jobs won't get you anywhere, it is all about networking/connections. I mean, of course you should continue to apply for jobs, but knowing people who can refer you is a huge advantage than you know.

I know it's different in the US but here in Canada the job market is oversaturated with useless degrees. I finished my Masters back in 2016 so it was easier for me to find a job. I have two younger siblings who are the same age that both finished their undergrads in 2022. My brother went to Uni for Nuclear Engineering and my sister did Hospitality and Tourism Management, can you guess which one had a job lined up before they even graduated? Some people need to realize a degree does not guarantee a job and some degrees are utterly worthless.
Amazon is always hiring... Blue collar and manual labor isn't anything to feel bad to work in. It's honest money while you figure yourself out and how you can fit in the workforce.
Idk about yall, but im going into education major next year. At an affordable school, for a degree in high demand, after taking college classes paid by my highschool, and already having tons of experience with education.
So yeah school system is wack, but I know what I want, I'm not getting scammed by college, and I know my dreams are actually going to get me a job.
So I'd say school isn't a scam at all, just extremely flawed. (One reason to go into education)
Two of the most useless degrees: Communications and Acting. No one needs "basic thinking/reading" degrees like History and English, either. Degrees like this are a scam and should be ended or reformed drastically to make them useful in the currect tech-climate. And that's the problem, all of these things can be learned online. Someone failed her immensely, namely the university/college system, as did her family and friends. There is no job that is looking for any of the mentioned degrees unless you plan on becoming a professor or teacher in those topics. It's mindblowing to think such degrees are even allowed to exist now. How haven't they reformed these degrees to match the current, even 20 year old, job climate? Office work is a funnel for all of these degrees and it's infuriating how trash it all is for getting you a job.
There's plenty of jobs out there that's hiring not even bad ones either like warehouses paying $25+/hr, but she wants to work at a coffee shop.
In Germany companies want people to start working at 16. Schools usually even prepare kids to start working at 16 or earlier. My mum started as a bank clerk with 16 as an example.
Further educations are usually being seen as bad. It’s like they don’t want you because when you finish college with idk 19 or 20 you’re „too old“ already.
What I figured out that companies want (at least here) is rather that they want young people who will work as long as possible who also got as much actual work experience as possible.
I only got one of my jobs because I worked as a helper for one of my teachers companies during college. And I studied Graphic and Media Design 😫
My other classmates did not found any job (though they also mostly applied to large design agencies who are really picky anyways) and none except one found a job.
That one person applied for a small start-up t-Shirt printing company
That’s actually not true. I’m living in Germany and absolutely nobody wants you to start your job at 16. In Germany the job situation got so bad for the employers(!) and not the employees. Nowadays you can’t find anyone who’s willing to work for you.
Don’t just study something what isn’t needed.
Yup. Currently got a company that hires kids from high school because schools here make kids get a first job experience to understand how everything works and so that they can learn actual things.
School normally does not teach you everything. You will keep learning even when you have a job.
Exactly if they start at 16 (I worked the family grocery at 16) you get the chance to ease into working full time and you get a load of experience.
@@loisen then you’re probably from a different part of Germany. Where I come from it’s really hard to get a job or apprenticeship when you’re older than 20. many of my friends and people I know struggled many years to get anything at all. And students from the colleges I used to go have had a really hard time finding jobs at all. Mainly due to the reason that they’re „students“
And on top of that. That’s just a personal experience but that no one wants to work for employers might be caused due to a lot of young people rather going to study something like programming, game design, design in general, lectureship etc. instead of going to work. Those who did not tried getting a job at most my old colleges were really work lazy at times.
6:36 College is meant to teach you skills and how to research. Never have universities promised you a job.
It used to. World War II soldiers who took advantage of the GI Bill got college degrees when most people didn't have them, and they had it made with a college degree. My wife's grandpa grew up in a dirt-poor farm family and ended up a very wealthy executive for Exxon, courtesy of the GI Bill and a Bachelor's Degree.
This makes me feel all warm inside 😅 most college graduates act like they are better then lower level graduates/ged/dropout people. Humble urself & learn how life works. Course even college cant give u common sense.
18 hours of unpaid work is a red flag for a “company”
She would probably have a lot more luck getting hired at those places (coffee shops, Fast food, Walmart, etc) if she DIDN'T go around with a stack of her 2 degrees. Any potential employer's will immediately think shes overqualified, which places hate. Because overqualified people will usually become resentful very quickly. Angry at the job, angry at life, constantly trying to order people around, always complaining, etc.
Gen Z is finally starting to get fucked over by the world, and I've got my popcorn ready.
She can work as an interpreter remotely, there are many jobs, seems like she has a different problem tho
1:03 I'm really good at Super Smash Bros and I grow greens for my rabbits. Oh wait, were we not just listing off things that are completely irrelevant to landing a job? I'm sorry, but those acting and communications degrees are absolutely worthless. They're basically crappy $50k paperweights.
1:11 "I just wanna be a tiktoker"
Translation: "I just wanna be a useless schlub that contributes nothing of value to humanity"
Yeah, living in New York is her problem. I live in Orlando and here, you could trip and fall into a Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts and get a job offer. They're literally closing restaurants around me because they can't get anyone to work there.
Edit: I agree with Pegasus on just about everything. I do feel for her and I do feel the education system is lying to and scamming impressionable teens and taking advantage of their lack of world knowledge. Honestly, I think this girl is likely working off of a lot of bad advice. She also seems like a bit of an idiot, ngl, but she is definitely being influenced by a lot of bad advice.
I dont feel bad for her. Job searching is not just about your degrees, its about who you know, how you present yourself, and your skills and interests beyond what you went to college for. The degree gives you the ability to gain more experience, meet mentors, and help you guys those internships or broader opportunities. You take a job thats not in your field when you need one and guess what? Your background improves because of that because youre not just a one trick pony
agreed
Life happened kinda messy and I ended up not going to college but working in restaurants and that's been the best . Definitely not as a server. I started as a dishwasher and eventually got taught how to prep and do much much more. By the end of my first restaurant job I was making a decent wage well above minimum wage and was making all the desserts and on the line putting together the salads and desserts. Now I don't struggle to find restaurant work and I have life skills. When in doubt starting from the bottom (but not really because being a dishwasher is an important job and if you're good at it you'll be treated very well and be respected in the kitchen) and working your way up can always be an option. Try not to see as just work but like a fun learning experience 🤷 I'd get excited to learn how to do new things and I had favorites I enjoyed making. 😅 The cleaning aspect doesn't have to be awful either. It can be really relaxing and fun when you've got good music and a nice cold soda. It's pretty good feeling to be like "look what I can do" and leave the restaurant looking better than when you started. Everyone will love you and you can be assured that the food is safe to eat
She said she applied to jobs and the people there said they are not hiring... how tf did she applied to jobs that are not hiring in the first place that is fishy asf i think shes faking it...
I think she don't wanna find a Job she Just do all this 🐂💩 for Tiktok
Exactly Ive never seen that before…
It’s possible, a job said thier hiring, I went to interview and they told me there not
She explained it. She walks into a store and asks to see the manager. She didn't say it has a Now Hiring sign in the widow.
That's what people did when I was in high school. That's what she said she did ten years ago. That's what she's doing now.
@@jayyli7204 why did they tell u to go to an interview if they were not hiring tho...
If you really want a job based on your degree you really need to reconsider what degrees you’re wasting your time with.
Also if you are stuck without work try learning something online like coding or similar , or get a trade, forget social media crap.
Get a side job/ passive income, when you are young and also get work experience younger too since jobs needing specialist (like a doctor) like to have references to hire people
it takes 7 years MINIMUM to become a doctor and specialist doctors take at least 4 years longer then that. and that's if you even pass the mcat test and have money for it. you can't just "start younger" to become a doctor. heck even nursing school is hard to get into for an average person. and how do you recommend someone with nothing start making "passive income"? because ever video i've watched you need at least a $2-5k buffer to even attempt a side Hussle for passive income unless you already have social based skills like online marketing. lastly, what side jobs can you work for 4-5 hours night shifts that are actually hiring?
@@Zenikai_ talk about work experience, I just used a doctor as an example chill. Also there is also aton of ways to get passive income like something like pateon, maybe a revision pack for schools idk, people gotta do there things. I am talking about this from a money standpoint only and to be financially before you have to move out the maybe passive income can help also less students loans too.
@@Cyber_element_lz yea that's why i asked how do you get passive income. because it's not something that just happens. and if it was so easy to do, everyone would be doing it. yes patreon is passive income, but you need to have a fan base of some sort to even gain $1. which is a form of online marketing. a skill that most teens dont have.
@@Zenikai_ also online marketing can be learnt online

The thing I hate with companies when they post job openings is when you apply and get a rejection email saying they’re moving on with other candidates, a week or two later they repost the job openings.
To be fair, when you see 2 degree for a job as cashier ... can't blame them for not hiring her. I mean, they won't be able to make her do everything since she'll know her stuff ..... normally.
No because she is a WoMaN

Have a nice day
Depends on the degree and what you are applying for. I got a degree in 1983 and used it to get a government job that required a degree. I worked there and am now retired and doing RUclips videos. Life is good! Lol
Everyone I know who moved to New York to pursue acting found work right away. None of them had more no experience than a high school play and a dream. Commercials and stage bring in a lot of money. I guess the competition would be stiff in New York but you got to go where the work is.
It's impossible to get by in NYC without serious money. Thank you for your hilarious and very true accounts of Gen Z stupidity. Never seen anything like the things that are happening on social media! It's refreshing to see a young person who sees these things as the utter absurdities that they are. Some of these Tik Toks are unreal.
I'm actually a Gen X girl, so I've been around since the late 70s. The degradation of human decency that I've witnessed in my lifetime is nothing short of voluminous. Thanks for the great videos!! I'm gonna keep watching!

Security guard companies are always hiring. Everyday. She could easily get a Security Operations Command position with a communication degree. That pays at least 25/ hr .
I've learned more about programming and IT from online courses and free youtube videos in a quarter of the time it would take me to learn it and get a master's degree at a college and at the fraction of the cost.
I would be hesitant to hire her too. Not because of her qualifications (You can actually do a lot with a Communications degree, obviously much less with an Acting degree. So it's like 1 useful degree out of 2).
My issue is her propensity to film her work/interactions. Scoring social clout will be her thing, I'm pretty sure of it. And I can't risk hiring a troublemaker.
5:38 it's her degree. If she did research on the bls beforehand she would know the pay is low and unemployment or underemployment high
i don't imagine it helps finding a job when your all over social media being vocal about everything, that kind of scares off alot of employers and rightly so, your a huge risk and potentially liability to there company if you go around saying the wrong things.
this is why i need to preach, IF YOUR GOING TO COLLEGE, Look up what job you want before you go spending money on a degree, see what you need to learn to get the job or else your going to be in a rude awakening when you get the wrong degree or you get a degree that doesnt make money, like getting a degree in political science, what, that doesnt make you money, thats not a job

@@KatieHuni it doesn't matter. Intelligence does.
Idk but I think that it‘s our responsibility to check the job market and availability BEFORE we start studying. If you study something where the market is already oversaturated (like communications) and something that is pretty risky (acting) you can‘t expect financial stability. Furthermore, New York is tough. If you can‘t find a job there look somewhere else? It might be necessary to move, but not everyone can live and work in NY… at some point it‘s just oversaturated…
With this in mind, she got scammed because she let herself get scammed.
No one “deserves” anything. Life doesn’t work like that. You do the best you can to position yourself for success but it certainly isn’t guaranteed. Good people get shafted everyday. I hate it and it sucks but that’s just the way it is. Pretending otherwise doesn’t make it so. We need to get out of this communal victim mindset.
3 people in my family are actively looking for work and are getting nothing. I'm the one who didn't get a college degree. I have zero debt. I invested as much of my money as I could, so I'm still making some money without a job.
I have a degree in Tech/IT so you would think getting a job or even an interview is easy, but I've applied for over 700 jobs now and counting and have only had 1 interview which didnt go anywhere.
The market is flooded with IT degrees...mostly h1b's working for half of what you'd ask for. Now that tech is laying off, ya might need to branch out to other opportunities
"the rats are crazy" that had me.

Her biggest problem at this point is she is clueless as to how to find a job in the age of the internet. It's not difficult, but this generation has no common sense when it comes to adulting. This is a direct result of helicopter parenting and being coddled, instead of learn that life has sharp edges that are unavoidable. I weep for our future.
Hint: a communications degree is useless.
Acting is useless.

@@caitlingillI'm being hyperbolic, you can find jobs with consulting firms and media outlets, it's just hard for a lot of people to find jobs in that field. Sometimes it just depends on where you live, you might have to look abroad for a good job and then move to it.
In a work place nepotism is very the reason why some can't find a job even if they are qualified.

Both useless she should have done nursing or finance you can’t get anything with an acting degree unless you got shit load of connections in the industry 😂

I can't say about the acting degree, but the communications degree should be a big boost for landing an entry level job at some company doing HR or marketing. Actually, some of those liberal arts degrees are better than science degrees in that regard. A company doesn't care if you can explain the Krebs cycle, they care that you can communicate effectively with clients. She probably just has to take that one dude's advice and apply outside of Manhattan.
I’m studying communications (journalism major, double minor in radio and advertising) at university and I’m worried now
The problem is saturation. Too many people with those degrees fighting for a relatively small number of jobs. And the economy is contracting, so the layoffs are gonna get worse. The h1bs work for less pay as well...
