And on almost the same day, my son transitioned from college to a good-paying job. So maybe this CEO was overgeneralizing?
The CEOs are shortsighted for what to do in their business so they project that into everyone else.
Congratulations to your son. He is going to do awesome! Don't let the world tell you any different. People are resilient
The CEOs job is to serve as a shiny object and to fart out mountains of inspirational drivel. They're human LLMs.
shortsighted is an understatement, they refuse to spend time or money to train fresh graduates like they should, but instead relying on cheaper labor in many fields, like H1B visas, or someone already experienced in the fields that got there before the advent of JOB SITES Online, this excludes almost all future fresh graduates from the field.
In short, recruiting companies are parasitic middlemen.
Or maybe your son was lucky.
Good on him though happy for the both of you 😊
He's had to swim against the current for years, through multiple wrong turns and dead ends. He's got an intense personality and was resistant to playing the necessary games to get ahead. But over time, he's become more pragmatic. So yeah, there may have been some luck involved, but being first in his class helped too. (And is it luck to have been born smart? To have persistence? To have a supportive family?)
My other two kids (older) also got jobs in the fields they did their degrees in. In my daughter's case, two of 30 people in her graduating class with the same degree as her actually found work in their field and remained employed in it a year later. Her take: "They're bougie kids who expected zero-pressure jobs with no deadlines."
Regardless, the CEO comes across as a self-serving, smug greedhead, and I suspect his messaging is not intended to benefit anyone but himself.
probably the majority arnt getting into thier fields they got a degree in.
i know people with MS and couldnt find one in stem.
