UMC parents have an inkling if they're connected. Maybe. In the big coastal cities, in tech, sure. Everyone else, no way. Universities have no incentive to publicize this. They're /delighted/ to take the tuition and lead a generation into debt slavery

And if you're not plugged into to get the lowdown on the True Path--if your last memory of college was out of the eighties--God forbid, if you never went to college yourself--there's no way you're going to be in a position to give good advice. But how would you know that?

I'm not sympathetic to children of the Upper West Side murdering each other for NYT internships, but they are not the median case. Median case is probably something like a gen 2 Hispanic kid burning his proud parent's life savings and taking debt for a worthless degree.

Anyway, burn down campuses and salt the earth. This system is distilled Lawful Evil.

It's really shit. -_- I had some friends who I think were your age--eg, one with an English degree who got work at a startup doing QA, and eventually pivoted into management. I think she's doing well.

Startups are (were?) solid if you can make it in, work your ass off, get a resume line or two, and pivot up. Just having any experience helps. I don't know what postings are like right now, though. :(

There's a very narrow pipe to getting into corporate in the way most people want directly, but outside of that it's a lot of opportunism--get the best thing you can and always keep your eyes open for how to leverage it into something better

The problem with this is that it's less "here are three tricks and you're golden" and much more situational, so hard to advise around -_-

It's not a lost cause, just a problem I don't know how to generally or easily solve :(
