I believe the problem is that people feel entitled to a job with a six-figure salary just because they paid for an expensive college education. College has this air of excellence.
But then, reality sets in. Knowledge is nice, of course, but practical experience is key. You need to know how to act in the real world.
This sorta cracks me up. If your monthly expenses are 6k a month you might be able to be just in the black if you make just under six figures. Look at rents anywhere that can be described as in or around any city and remember recent grads have no savings and student loans on top of other expenses. Throwing around six figures as a large number in 2015 meant something, in 2025 its laughable.
