Right now that might be true. You still can’t make the argument that the ‘average’ person will be better off without college. People like graham Stephan love to say that you don’t need college to succeed, which is absolutely true. But not everybody will be able to become a successful entrepreneur with just a high school diploma. Some will, but most wont. College will always give you a competitive edge and also raise the ‘floor’ of what you might make. The average income of those with a degree will ALWAYS be higher than those without. Open to debate any of the above :)

Kyle Nichols I specifically disagree with the last statement of those with degrees make more than those without. Sure that’s the idea but that’s not the reality. I’d say it’s closer to 50/50 My blue collar husband out-earns 90% of the people I personally know that graduated from a 4 year. College doesn’t do anything for people except for tell them how to get a job and work for someone else. The graduates that are successful aren’t so bc of college but college might have given them the confidence to pursue bigger and better things. Formal education doesn’t create ambition which is why so many successful people say you don’t need college to reach success.

@C Yeah, it's just the time and cash investment is a risk and kids/teens should be made aware of that. Right now, college is pitched as the "silver bullet" to avoid financial strife. Our current economic situation is a black swan event but just like the people in the video, anyone who went to college to get a "good job" is now going to have to carry a massive debt leading into a economic recession.

I graduated into the 2008 recession. It was one of the hardest things to live through feeling like you did everything right but nothing paying off. I feel for everyone who's graduating right now and entering into this job market. Throw out whatever career/life path you thought you were going to have and be prepared to take a long winding unclear road to get to your career and life goals.

Trudeau and our government body are helping almost everyone who has been affected by covid-19 (most people getting 2k every month) and spending a lot on social programs alongside small business and corporate relief. We are not perfect but seem to have somewhat of a balance. Even outside the issues revolving around the pandemic you guys seem to have bigger issues than us socially and economically. Your country is nice in some aspects but I wouldn't go as far to say America is better than Canada because that just comes down to personal opinion.

Nice to see so many encouraging and advice-filled comments. I thankfully had a job when the recession hit but I definitely had to work hard and be flexible to stay employed. So for those who do have a job offer - be prepared to take on additional responsibilities to cover for those that are laid off or positions that go unfilled. Keep a pulse on what is happening in your industry so you can keep your skills up to date and sharp and be ready to jump on opportunities.

I graduated with a JD (law degree) in May 2017, I was 26. In a healthy economy it still took 1.5 years to find a meaningful, well paid job as an associate attorney. I moved back home and applied to more than 100 jobs.95% rejections. I eventfully got hired at a good firm with good pay. It’s ok if you spend the next 1-3 years spinning your wheels, you will get to where you need to go. We’re all affected by this. Keep applying, keep going.

I completed six internships, graduated with a B.A., and I'm still underqualified for an entry-level job. 1500 apps; zero interviews. I know I'm not entitled to anything. I'm just focusing on what I can control and just hoping for a shot.

I'm 22 living with my parents, graduated December 2019. Took a Vacation in January & started working full-time in February with my first job EVER, then in March everyone got sent home to work remotely. It's all really weird, but I'm thankful that i'm healthy and employed. I wouldn't say it's bad living with your parents before 25. It does make me feel lame, but I also know a lot of first time home buyers are in their early 30's these days. Hoping to continue learning and saving and growing my skillset while we're all stuck at home during COVID.

I can't even imagine the pain and stress they're going through. I graduated in 2017 and it still took me six months to land a job post graduation...

Graduated in 2007. My advice would be don't wait for a job and start your own business or work for yourself.

This is how I feel and I am so depressed I feel like I can’t handle it anymore. I don’t want to mooch off my parents and I feel like I’m a failure.

OMG to hear all these stories is so heart breaking. I graduated with my Master's this year and I am in the exact same situation. In every interview they just say that they can't afford to have people just graduated with no experience. It feels that after have had achieved so much in school and graduated, now we are just lost and don't know necessarily what to do with our future 😔

It is a hard time and you all will be stronger through this. Best wishes.

Definitely hear your pain. Went through it on the last recession. Got laid off, had to work an hourly temp job that paid pennies. Was never made permanent so moved on to another company (took a while). The detriment to my salary, I still feel today. I saw how people that graduated when the economy was booming made close to what I was making with years of experience. Really screws with your psyche and holds you back so much more. To have to live through another recession now I worry how much I'll be pushed back again.

I went through it in 2008. Graduated high school in 2007. Went to college during the recession. What I learned keep your head up, hustle and make money wherever you can, network, and be open to opportunities as they come up.

Consider volunteering to expand your skill set and never give up. It'll get better. It did for me.

Well, not within 90 days of graduation but 90 days of when OPT starts. I graduated with Masters earlier this month but my OPT doesn't start until 27 July. But, we are still not allowed to just transition to something else.

good luck to all recent grads graduating in such an unprecedented time :( stay strong well all get thru dis!!!

I graduated in 07 and it's only been within the past couple of years that I finally feel I am starting to gain traction with my career. It has taken a gargantuan amount of work to get to this point. I feel for these graduates, to have all of these big dreams and aspirations, only to have them dashed is heartbreaking.

The major thing for these grads IMO is that they're not only dealing with a bad job market, but it's also a changing market where things are shifting, especially how we work. I work in e-commerce on the accounts payable team and everything is stalled now to move forward with hiring. We're shorthanded because we had someone leave days before the stay at home orders were issued. We don't have the capacity to train a person remotely and it ends up where we're doing the jobs of 2-3 people each. The consensus is when we start hiring (and it will happen) we need people with the specified skill set to adapt more easily to the job and new grads generally aren't taught in areas like software for their field, etc. Also, work from home is unofficially becoming the new skill and if someone has a history of being able to work remotely, it'll likely give them an edge since the guidelines for in-office attendance are set to change to 50% or less for each employee as long as the pandemic continues...and it'll likely continue post-pandemic. I can't tell you how many new grads I met last year when hiring an admin with finance/accounting degrees and they have no idea how to work with QuickBooks. I ended up hiring someone with no accounting experience but had data entry knowledge and it aided them in learning faster the software faster. It should really make colleges look at requirements for curriculums and what they're actually teaching and should be tailored to actual business administration. Graduates lacking the necessary skills is nothing new, it's just more of a sore spot now that we're in this extreme situation.

@Bobo-jy5mg

I mean to be fair, why would they teach students how to use Quickbooks? Seems a little specific.

@Emerald Anastasia There's no doubt excel is important. I agree with that, but from what I have learned is on its own, excel can be incredibly tedious and time-consuming. Personally, I came from a marketing background before being hired in finance. Was a shock to me, but they looked at my knowledge of HubSpot and SalesForce as what gave me an edge. I had beginner-intermediate knowledge of excel. I'm just saying some type of data entry should be implemented as a curriculum. Maybe even do away with electives and put more soft skill-based courses (including excel) as mandatory courses. It would make the candidate more sellable and could even help with obtaining a job during college.

Lauren McGoodwin is exactly right. There are good ways to go about it though if you are smart and willing to apply your degree. The only thing that has worked for me has been getting specific about what I wanted to do, but not too specific because you need to take every opportunity you can to do things related to your major, even for free. Think about these as side hustles, except instead of making money you are making career progress. Return to work for a past employer, reach out to professors to do research for free, etc. I have found that these experiences give you valuable stories to talk about when you land an interview at a company that you really want to work for. Also, interviewing skills are absolutely essential and you have no excuse not to master these. On the upside, just be glad you're not in HR and have to sort through 1000 resumes and 200 cover letters in a weekend for a Data Entry job.

My first job I applied to 500+ places to get what I wanted. (Granted I had (literally) 1 offer I turned down). My second job, I applied to one. I got it, I still have it and it will almost certainly last through this recession. The difference is that I had my foot in the door vs being some nobody. I feel for everyone that's graduating right now. My advice is be willing to take anything as long as it can connect you to the right people.

There was also a study that showed that your first job is often what sets you up for better opportunists. Like in the recession many took offers way below what they would have or worked jobs not related in their field. Same thing is going to happen now, by no fault of the graduates. But they will earn less in their lifetime typically .

Losing your job is very hard, I lost my job 1 year after graduating. Although it was very hard for a time. I was able to grow as a person and in my career. Prayers to everyone affected! Dig deep and dont give up!

The recession of 2008 was hard. My husband took over 2 years to get a solid full-time job and it was stressful. Now, thank God we are both working but we are both definitely under threat of layoffs as the economy starts to get back on its feet after the quarantine, so don't know how secure we are right now. If it's any conciliation we are all in it together. If I were a new graduate I'd do my best to add more skills to my resume-take extra classes that will enhance what you already went to school for. Volunteering with a company you are interested in working for is a great way to get noticed when opportunities open up. It may take a while but it's worth doing because it gives you purpose, adds more skills to your resume and sets you up for a possible opportunity.

I graduated in May 2009 and couldn’t, even 5 years after that, find a job related to my degree. What ended up doing was finding a job, any job, so that I could put money in my pocket and start paying my student loans back. I wasn’t happy for a couple of years and realized that finding a job in my degree just wasn’t going to happen as the years went by so I made peace with the job I did have. It was rough and a lot of work but I eventually clawed my way up to what I feel is a good salary. If anything that experience made me take a real hard look at myself and what I really wanted for my life. All the material and superficial desires went out the door and instead I realized that it’s only a matter of time before another recession comes so I planned and saved and now in 2020 I’m so happy that I did all of that because I don’t feel the anxiety I did back then.

It is extremely difficult to be in this position but it is also such a valid excuse to reflect, maximize learning, seek external knowledge and leverage our personal network. This too shall pass. Some of our goals may have been delayed but they have in no ways been eliminated.

To everyone in this video - I graduated in 2008 with no experience, no offers - I was really ashamed of myself. Plus, being an international student really didn't help at all. I ended up going to grad school and not a good school to be honest - I was honestly burdening myself with guilt and finances even more. I can't say that I have the answer for you guys. But, all I want to say is - look up, and breathe. This is not happening because of you and I hope that when another bad thing happens in the future (knock on wood, hoping it doesn't but..you know), you can reflect back to this time and say "hey, I got through 2020. I'm stronger and wiser now - things will get better" I wish all of you nothing but love, success and happiness - I want you guys to know that things will change.

Wow, it's so saddening to see these graduates with lost hope in their eyes. This will definitely pass and things will get better.See it as an opportunity for you to figure out what you truly want to do with your life. From experience these entry level grad roles aren't always what they're built up to be. Be open minded, flexible and persistent in whatever you want to do!

I thank God that I have landed a new and better job and start Monday. I feel for everyone right now. I grew up poor and had to take out student loans to get by and I felt that all my hard work was for nothing, a very dark place to be in mentally. I pray that every one going through this gets the job they never knew they wanted. The government has done very little to help us college students. Class of 2019,2020, and 2021 will be fighting for jobs😢

I graduated this year with my degree in accounting. I keep getting interviews, and then it's just rejections. It's starting to wear, and I'm beginning to lose motivation. I hope something will come up soon, but I'm not sure what to realistically expect. The average time from graduation to finding a job was 3 to 6 months WITHOUT a pandemic, and I'm only on month 2. I wish all fellow 2020 graduates the absolute best of luck and may we stay strong in these times!

I am graduating this year with a BS in Civil Engineering and I am extremely lucky that I got a full time position offered to me at the place I interned. This video definitely makes me humble and grateful and motivates me to work hard. I personally know a lot of people who got laid off or offers been taken away from them and I feel horrible. I hope companies strat hiring again soon. Best wishes to all the people who graduated this year.

Get an entry level job outside your "career path". It tells your future hiring manager that you are flexible, adaptable, and someone who doesn't mind getting their hands dirty. Plus you get to earn money, pay your student loans, and get your mind off worrying on what the future holds. This too shall pass!

Not to be that guy, and I do feel bad for these people who lost their job offers, but finding a job for seniors and new graduates was extremely rough even before this. I graduated Class of 2019, and I didn't have any job lined up. I have internship experience, and majored in a field that I was told had plenty of jobs. TL;DR Majored in Communications & Marketing. Plenty of jobs, but because of high requirements/expectations and competition, it's almost impossible to get an entry level job with out a direct personal referral. And this was all when the economy was supposedly "booming". My point is the difficulties of finding a job for a college senior and new graduate aren't anything new, the pandemic has only made it worse and brought more attention to it.

It's not uncalled for us to socialize the risk of simply being born into the wrong time. Then, they need to have support and priority in finding jobs. It is so much to ask for that this generation has the similar standard of life as every other generation? Therefore, it's not wrong to ask other generations to provide a helping hand. Everyone decreases their quality of life a bit so that this lost generation can improve theirs at least to the level of everyone else's.

While summer went from fulltime into a 3 week casestudy due to COVID.... the summer internship was originally for a MAJOR healthcare company in my city....i am worried about the job market, although ive been smart to go to college debt free, commute and live at home, and build up a huge nest egg saving and investing wise. Im hopeful to get some other internship after the fall or even freelance because my city is recovering job wise, although i will not be picky. This is very strategic for anyone.

How did you get your internship with the health care company?

I graduated with a finance degree during the recession. I got very few call backs but no offer. I was extremely desperate, so I just flat out lied on my resume. I lied and put down that I had two years experience, when in reality I had none. I ended up getting many calls and job offers. My first salary was $65,000. I left about two years later and just went from job to job in order to move up the ladder. My last corporate job I was making around $110,000 per year. I left that job around 5 years ago and now I own a successful business. Moral of the story is FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT.

The Man 00 how did you pass background checks? They verify your job history. Not sure if anything has changed since the time you graduated or if you’re even from the US, but this will not work in the US nowadays.

I graduated high school in 2008, college was viewed as a necessity so I continued with that route. Even then, I worked minimum wage jobs up until I was 25, in 2015. Now, I'll be finishing my (fully funded) Ph.D. in 2022, now I wonder if I will be going through it all over again.

This is so heartbreaking. I feel so sad for all these graduates

It sucks. I feel for people in 2020 who are graduating. God be with you.

Because of good economical situation of my country,half of graduates dont have any job at all,hi from Iran Welcome to similar situation we r facing for many years.
