Generally speaking, people vastly underestimate how difficult it is to get a good job. Even people with 5-10 years of experience and an MBA will have major difficulty getting a good job if their career isn't laser focused towards a high demand field. I think this is something that needs to be explained to people when they're in high school. I feel one of the primary classes in k-12 should be Job/Career studies.
- antisthenes 8y agoI think people from past generations underestimate how difficult it is to get a good job. Everyone from my millennial cohort fully understands how long and difficult the job hunt can be. Also how completely dehumanized and demoralizing the process sometimes is. Even the smarter of my cohort fully plan to spend at least several weeks tailoring their resume and at least 6 months for the actual job hunt. And it's very common for it to take longer. This leads to some other nasty 2-nd order effects, like, for example, people being too afraid to negotiate with their employer for better conditions - for fear of having to endure the job hunt again.
