imagine making people go into debt for access to the precious training to work your profession then rejecting them as useless anyway.
cut the hr bullshit and offer dignity and a good salary if you want people to care about the work you need done.
Its not a matter of whether or not to hire, in my opinion. It's just a known issue that education got screwed during covid. The students have been performing worse and its led to less educated/adapted adults graduating from high school and college.
If you don't acknowledge there is an issue, then you can't do anything to help it.
they made their bed. they wanted ai slop everywhere, they got it. they transferred wealth to themselves during covid, and got sick, struggling and demotivated workers.
they all want good workers but aren't investing a single dime in a way to better train and onboard the next generation. quite the contrary, starting a new career has never been so brutal while not giving a fuck if you can actually live with that salary.
and with how things are, if they simply paid well great people would be fighting for that job.
then why the fuck do you demand degrees instead of training the people how you need? why do you think people are going into life long debt for that shit in the first place?
the sheer entitlement of someone that didn't give me a single peep about what you are bringing to the table, but expects people to dedicate years of their life for you to still not consider them worthy of an entry level job.
don't expect people to bend over backwards to learn the shit YOU want them to when they are not even being paid for it.
A lot of that is jobs requiring a BS for no reason and not even using the skills it teaches, and those jobs complaining that colleges don't teach enough Java or some other shitty industry tool or whatever in their theoretical computer science programs and colleges lowering standards to make themselves more marketable with higher graduation rates. And now they have software engineering degrees which is probably more relevant for a lot of software engineering jobs but they still expect CS.
