Right now that might be true. You still can’t make the argument that the ‘average’ person will be better off without college. People like graham Stephan love to say that you don’t need college to succeed, which is absolutely true. But not everybody will be able to become a successful entrepreneur with just a high school diploma. Some will, but most wont. College will always give you a competitive edge and also raise the ‘floor’ of what you might make. The average income of those with a degree will ALWAYS be higher than those without. Open to debate any of the above :)

Kyle Nichols I specifically disagree with the last statement of those with degrees make more than those without. Sure that’s the idea but that’s not the reality. I’d say it’s closer to 50/50 My blue collar husband out-earns 90% of the people I personally know that graduated from a 4 year. College doesn’t do anything for people except for tell them how to get a job and work for someone else. The graduates that are successful aren’t so bc of college but college might have given them the confidence to pursue bigger and better things. Formal education doesn’t create ambition which is why so many successful people say you don’t need college to reach success.

You will get multiple doors closed on your face, but you need to look ahead and make sure you keep your chin up and keep trying.

Trudeau and our government body are helping almost everyone who has been affected by covid-19 (most people getting 2k every month) and spending a lot on social programs alongside small business and corporate relief. We are not perfect but seem to have somewhat of a balance. Even outside the issues revolving around the pandemic you guys seem to have bigger issues than us socially and economically. Your country is nice in some aspects but I wouldn't go as far to say America is better than Canada because that just comes down to personal opinion.

I didn’t go to college, started welding and work never even slowed up during what’s going on. College isn’t for everyone and landing your dream job out of college isn’t always going to happen, tough economical times or not. I have no debt and just google what a welder makes. You finish college and often have no job experience. Learn a trade, go to work, start paying off your debt and don’t give up on the dream job but pick a job in a demand.

The recession of 2008 was hard. My husband took over 2 years to get a solid full-time job and it was stressful. Now, thank God we are both working but we are both definitely under threat of layoffs as the economy starts to get back on its feet after the quarantine, so don't know how secure we are right now. If it's any conciliation we are all in it together. If I were a new graduate I'd do my best to add more skills to my resume-take extra classes that will enhance what you already went to school for. Volunteering with a company you are interested in working for is a great way to get noticed when opportunities open up. It may take a while but it's worth doing because it gives you purpose, adds more skills to your resume and sets you up for a possible opportunity.

The major thing for these grads IMO is that they're not only dealing with a bad job market, but it's also a changing market where things are shifting, especially how we work. I work in e-commerce on the accounts payable team and everything is stalled now to move forward with hiring. We're shorthanded because we had someone leave days before the stay at home orders were issued. We don't have the capacity to train a person remotely and it ends up where we're doing the jobs of 2-3 people each. The consensus is when we start hiring (and it will happen) we need people with the specified skill set to adapt more easily to the job and new grads generally aren't taught in areas like software for their field, etc. Also, work from home is unofficially becoming the new skill and if someone has a history of being able to work remotely, it'll likely give them an edge since the guidelines for in-office attendance are set to change to 50% or less for each employee as long as the pandemic continues...and it'll likely continue post-pandemic. I can't tell you how many new grads I met last year when hiring an admin with finance/accounting degrees and they have no idea how to work with QuickBooks. I ended up hiring someone with no accounting experience but had data entry knowledge and it aided them in learning faster the software faster. It should really make colleges look at requirements for curriculums and what they're actually teaching and should be tailored to actual business administration. Graduates lacking the necessary skills is nothing new, it's just more of a sore spot now that we're in this extreme situation.
@Bobo-jy5mg4 жыл бұрын
I mean to be fair, why would they teach students how to use Quickbooks? Seems a little specific.

@Emerald Anastasia There's no doubt excel is important. I agree with that, but from what I have learned is on its own, excel can be incredibly tedious and time-consuming. Personally, I came from a marketing background before being hired in finance. Was a shock to me, but they looked at my knowledge of HubSpot and SalesForce as what gave me an edge. I had beginner-intermediate knowledge of excel. I'm just saying some type of data entry should be implemented as a curriculum. Maybe even do away with electives and put more soft skill-based courses (including excel) as mandatory courses. It would make the candidate more sellable and could even help with obtaining a job during college.

I graduated in May 2009 and couldn’t, even 5 years after that, find a job related to my degree. What ended up doing was finding a job, any job, so that I could put money in my pocket and start paying my student loans back. I wasn’t happy for a couple of years and realized that finding a job in my degree just wasn’t going to happen as the years went by so I made peace with the job I did have. It was rough and a lot of work but I eventually clawed my way up to what I feel is a good salary. If anything that experience made me take a real hard look at myself and what I really wanted for my life. All the material and superficial desires went out the door and instead I realized that it’s only a matter of time before another recession comes so I planned and saved and now in 2020 I’m so happy that I did all of that because I don’t feel the anxiety I did back then.

Not to be that guy, and I do feel bad for these people who lost their job offers, but finding a job for seniors and new graduates was extremely rough even before this. I graduated Class of 2019, and I didn't have any job lined up. I have internship experience, and majored in a field that I was told had plenty of jobs. TL;DR Majored in Communications & Marketing. Plenty of jobs, but because of high requirements/expectations and competition, it's almost impossible to get an entry level job with out a direct personal referral. And this was all when the economy was supposedly "booming". My point is the difficulties of finding a job for a college senior and new graduate aren't anything new, the pandemic has only made it worse and brought more attention to it.

I left about two years later and just went from job to job in order to move up the ladder. My last corporate job I was making around $110,000 per year.

I just graduated and my bachelors degree cost me $22k. Was able to finish saving the money 1 year before I graduated so I graduated debt free. Got a low price tag from attending community college and public university. student debt doesn’t have to be inevitable.

people from elite schools barely have any debt, unless theyre already from a privileged family. elite universities give out a lot of financial aid.

@@will-ye Eh not true at all. I can say the reason why I turned down UChicago was that they gave me a tiny 15k grant on a 70k/year education. Needless to say, I turned it down.

OMG to hear all these stories is so heart breaking. I graduated with my Master's this year and I am in the exact same situation. In every interview they just say that they can't afford to have people just graduated with no experience. It feels that after have had achieved so much in school and graduated, now we are just lost and don't know necessarily what to do with our future 😔

Who knew graduating into a depression would be so devastating? It's almost like it happened already just 12 years ago to the previous generation.

I graduated with a Bachelor's in Aeronautics, couldn't find a job in my field, went and flipped burgers at BK for six months while I was waiting for something better to come along. I'm gainfully employed now. Got to keep an open mind.

I was in the same boat. Graduated December 2019, got a job in March and was supposed to start April 6 until I got a call stating my offer was rescinded due to Covid. I thank God that I have landed a new and better job and start Monday. I feel for everyone right now. I grew up poor and had to take out student loans to get by and I felt that all my hard work was for nothing, a very dark place to be in mentally. I pray that every one going through this gets the job they never knew they wanted. The government has done very little to help us college students. Class of 2019,2020, and 2021 will be fighting for jobs😢

You all worked super hard to get through school and land your first job, and life just dealt you a bad hand. I am sorry to hear about your struggle. If any of you want free advice on how to beef up your resume or linked in profile, just DM me and I'd be happy to give you a call. It would also be my pleasure to give you all a quick rundown of Secret Shopping so at the very least you can start getting your food for free. Hang in there, it won't be like this forever.

Took 2 years off after high school and graduated college in 2010. I was able to work in restaurants a few years before landing my first "real job" in 2012, and these folks can't even do that right now. No one knows what these grads are going through better than those of us that graduated between 2008 and 2011. I feel so bad because a generation of us understands what c/o 2020 is in for and it's going to be really painful for a long time. My only advice is to get creative about what your career could look like, don't bank on a straight path, avoid comparing yourself to others (this one was hard for me), and don't get caught up on arbitrary timelines and deadlines. We love you c/o 2020 and we promise to be kinder to you than older generations have been to us Millennials. It got a lot better for me, but in all honesty it took a very long time.
