No kidding

1. too many interviews/screening

2. too much credentialism

3. emasculating environment

4. low pay

5. non-work alternatives (e.g., side hustles, Uber, disability )

6. inheritances and other help ( as people become wealthier and boomers die)

The job market is filled with fake jobs, 10 round interviews, AI screening and even AI interviewers. The degree has lost its signal, jobs get >100 applicants, hiring is broken and many are not interested in underemployment. Articles like this is why I am not surprised anti-establishment is on the rise. Blame literally anything apart from the problem.
