problem is they want to start out at mid career earnings with zero experience and limited qualifications as opposed to entering the work force at a level commensurate with those "skills" and improving their position based on skill and merit
Or they want an entry wage similar to the cost of goods of past generations, not an entry wage 40-60% weaker relative to the cost of goods than those generations before them calling them entitled…..

The lack of self awareness when calling them entitled is hilarious They are getting paid a relative wage so much less, and are being told “you should shut up and take it”

Go back in time to your first job. Now cut that salary by 40%. Would you have simply “shut up and worked”?

my starting wages at the company I'm at were at poverty level, especially since I was initially assigned to NYC, I had the patience and foresight, and sense of delayed gratification to realize that this job, in just a few short years would turn into a lucrative, high paying gig with excellent retirement and benefits, 38 years later it has exceeded all of my wildest projections
