Take a look at the first few pages of top posts of all time on r/jobs[1]. They are filled with threads bemoaning how awful work is these days and how hard it is to find a job. Some sample thread titles: "A 9-5 job that pays a living is now a luxury"[2] "America is not lacking in skilled employees, America is lacking in companies willing to hire and train people in entry level roles"[3] "3 to 5 years is NOT entry level"[4] "Employers this is why you aren't getting any employees."[5] "Job Hunting again, and it sucks. Please have all Certifications, a degree in at least 3 fields, and 20 years for this internship"[6] And many, many more threads along those lines. Whether or not these complaints reflect the reality of the job marketplace as a whole, it's clear that a lot of people are super frustrated and dejected, and it's not surprising to me in the least that some (many?) would give up altogether. Some people who work in tech and rolling in dough are completely out of touch with how tough it is for millions of people outside of tech and some other very in-demand fields. That's not to mention depression and burnout, which even those in in-demand fields are not immune to.
