The cold hard reality is that in most US states 10%+ of people ages 18-30 cannot get a job doing anything. High skill jobs are inaccessible to many people without extensive training and low skill jobs are highly competitive and people with more experience get them. We are in a crisis and will be looking at an unemployed generation soon. I'm a lot luckier than most of the people my age in georgia. I've also dedicated my life and made a lot of sacrifices to get here that society told us as we grew up were unnecessary and irrational. The narrative we got was "go to college then it is easy to get a job" when the reality is that people are graduating college and facing unemployment. As somebody that teaches in a university setting it is soul crushing.
