College used to be sold as the ticket to a better job.

Now it feels like the ticket to... another application rejection.

Universities are suddenly trying really hard to convince everyone their degrees are still worth it, companies keep raising the requirements for entry-level jobs, internships are becoming impossible to land, and somehow people with PhDs are being offered $18 an hour.

So... what exactly are we paying for anymore?

In this video, we're looking at desperate MBA marketing, degree inflation, AI replacing entry-level work, ridiculous job requirements, and why standing out is becoming more valuable than collecting another checkbox on your resume.

Late Stage Capitalism

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, anti-communism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.
