Entry level jobs aren't going to exist in the very near future.

Also, nobody wants to work anymore...
That's why I decided to give up and not go back to college. What's the point?
Education is useful in the workforce if it's targeted. Traditionally a college education for most people doesn't pay out for up to 10-15 years post-graduation.
Honestly unless somebody is paying your way through, for many fields it's better working for a few years then going back to school in your late 20's. Then you can get a degree in the field that you are actually working in.
"Entry level" jobs have been "Degree + 2-3 years experience" since I graduated college and it's only gotten worse in the past 25 years.
For the 10 years post graduation I made less money than I did driving trucks during college
part of me feels lucky that i graduated when i did since there was a big enough labor shortage during the dotcom bubble burst years to give me a chance despite not even having a degree in the field.
the graduates i work with today are so much more capable than i was at their age, yet have so little prospects; i feel sorry for them and i'm SO GLAD i didn't bring another person into this world to experience this misery.
