Im fortunate to say I'm in the opposite boat.. I'm in sales with no degree. Last summer, I quit my job with nothing lined up and had a job within a month. Just recently, I was let go and found another job within a month. While my field might be an exception to the rule, I think there is accountability that needs to be taken on the other side. The job market is competitive right now, you cant expect companies to "follow through" with you when dozens of other people are aggressively following up to get the same jobs you're looking for. My last two jobs I got were with 0 connections to the companies. I applied through traditional means and made an impact through my interviews and follow up on those interviews.

Very true words being spoken. The IT job market has turned to shit imo. I've seen jobs for "head database analyst" at $15/hr. Even without college, a job like that takes years of learning and certifications just to be paid less than the cashier at the gas station... And don't even try to get a job if you're entry level. Over 60% of "entry level" IT jobs require 3+ years of experience. Also the thing you said about AI job recruitment frustrates me too. Not only is it AI that's making things harder, but companies will outsource their hiring to third world countries, so when they give you a phone call you don't even know what job they're calling you about.

I am forever thankful for my first boss/CEO after graduating with my degree. He got me in without me knowing anything, with a high paying job and full benefits in a great location. Guess what, many years later, I choose to move to the city where he retired, and I am still friends with him today. Your first job really have great impact on your career success later on in your life.

you have to be born with experience and programming/software knowledge before it comes out. But yeah it's pretty bad, I notice big difference how bad things looks vs something like 2021/2022.

You thought about corrections, law enforcement, EMT or other first responder jobs? Despending on your location they might be hiring and they generally pay good with benefits if you can deal with the stakes involved.

if youre getting in person interviews, I would say sell yourself more. Don't question why you need experience waiting tables. Tell them you can do it and you will be the best at it.
