why is it so hard to get an entry level job with a bachelors degree is the question, I know i don't have experience but damn, I can't get an internship because they all require you to still be in school and entry level jobs keep passing over me because i don't have experience
Thats why u need to use the things to your availibilty. Get ur ass on linkedin and cold contact like 10-20 dudes who have they own one man business. Guaranteed you'll get an internship by the end of the week. Work for 2 months and get the job you deserve. Its all bs and making sure you fit the right picture, sometimes u gotta play the game.

I personally did this and now I'm going through rounds of interviews for jobs over the positions I wanted a year ago. you just got to go out and do it

The system is bullshyt breh but you need to do two things: a) don't waste money on bullshyt and b) find what you're good at and find a way to monetize it. Even if it is just odd jobs here and there, try to build up a clientele and you can build something more "legit" off of that once you get a few clients/references under your belt.

Theres more people than jobs available full stop tho. So right there the system is fukked from the get go.
Nah. There are PLENTY of jobs available it's just not enough "skilled" people to fill them. If hiring requirements were lax and on the job training was the focus a lot of people would eat.

You don't have any work experiences.

I do. Ive worked manual labor for a builder, worked manual labor on a farm, worked in a warehouse. Ive had 3 jobs in my life and they were all temporary. Never had even an interview for a full time job.

Only because they don't have or feel they don't have the skills to do anything else. Trust me there are plenty of jobs. People just don't meet the hiring requirements. Now there is a lack of low skilled/minimum wage jobs for sure.
