Nobody wants to educate themselves on how the labor markets work and what the on-ramps look like. It’s a shame. The same people (parents and kids) who spend hours researching when the athletic center is open, spend hundreds decorating a kid’s dorm room, and complain on Facebook that there is no mesclun on the salad bar at XYZ school can’t be bothered doing basic research (except for Payscale and similar to get wildly misleading numbers). I get it- people invest time in what they care about, and the assumption is that the college will do the heavy lifting to get the kid launched.
Read the threads on CC about the kids who graduated in December 2024, are graduating next week, last June who still haven’t found a job. “Everyone knows career services at my kid’s school is terrible”. Does your kid even know where it’s located?
