The only one that does is for an entry level position that undervalues your salary by $20k.
But hey! At least we get to start paying for our loans again, and in a time where market prices for products have gone up 25-50%! I didn’t want to be a homeowner, have children, or worry about managing a savings account anyway! I’m proud that I’ll be working well into my 70s with no hope of retirement in sight! That just means I get to contribute more! So glad our overlords decided I should be a productive member of society instead of some freeloader weighing down the system!
I’m not trying to justify companies underpaying entry devs and the pay sucks, I get it. It’s not a good situation. I do think you can make the most out of the situation by getting a shit paying job to get your foot in the door. Work like a year and then hop to a better job now that you have some experience on your resume.
I didnt even finish my course but the company I worked for OJT took me in anyway. Now Im their main System Administrator.
Experience is a lot more valuable than that degree. Its just gonna be a piece of paper once you get hired.
Then the University goes: “You wanna teach this same course to another generation of suckers? Great! Let’s start with this pyramid shape”
That depends a lot on what your degree is and how well you sell it’s relevance pst graduation.
Indeed. It has a lot to do with that and about a dozen other things. Degree. Job field. Connections. Experience. Personality.
I have a general comms degree and an MA in digital media. These degrees and my job field are extremely broad, so I have experience in loads of different things. As such, I can apply for any job from digital marketing to public relations to a press officer and have a shot of at least getting an interview. I’ve never had a shortage of knowing people in my industry who would be willing to write me a letter of recommendation or give me a referral where they work. I’ve gotten one of my colleagues hired at two separate places that I have been a manager.
But to add on to that, I interview well and have a very relaxed and jovial personality. I work well with others and make friends easily. I can’t count how many times there have been interoffice issues where an independent consultant had to come in and mediate or get to the bottom of an HR problem and it would turn out that I’m one of the only people in a division that not a single person had a conflict with.
