starting to panic about my kid not finding a job.

It's like there are no entry level jobs out there to get that work history though. He seems on the verge of begging. He has lots of work experience, but in customer service type jobs, not really as an engineer.

Any advise on what he can do? Is there a temp company for engineering job? Are there internship programs? Could he start his own consulting company?

I asked if he would consider going back to school and that was absolutely refused. He really wants to work and it shocks me that no one will hire him. He graduated from a school like Univeristy of Wisconsin with a good GPA and lots of teacher recommendations-- he worked as grader in his last year for his favorite prof. His alma mater doesn't seem to provide much help for finding a job. Just provides job listings, which, so far, haven't planned out. I'm really regretting that he didn't go to a school with an established co-op program. Although I've heard even students in those schools are having a rough time of it.

750k H-1b in force, majority in tech. 250k H-4 EAD work permits for their spouses.

L1+L2 spouses 375k

OPT/STEM OPT - 242k

7 million Green Card holders and other visa types working in STEM.

And i'm not covering it all... Pile on outsourcing (300k jobs a year) and offshoring (over 2 million in India alone). Wake up - this is a huge problem.

H-1B has just become a shorthand for the problem.

Fyi, we approved 140k H-1Bs last year cuz universities and nonprofits are 'uncapped'.

All taking jobs from US citizens , and yet people don’t care until it happens to them

Dude, you are wanting socialism. Yes, you vote for billionaires who will analfutzk you and your kids. This is capitalism and anti-union policies at its best.

Also, Green Card holders have come legally and they provide the tech superiority to USA companies. You want your jobs protected? Become like China! Wait...they are communists. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

BTW - why not work on the H1B salary? Write in the resume - USA Citizen. Willing to Work on H1B salaries.

Multiple?

NVIDIA just had a conference. Robots are taking your job,s and crypto will be the new form of all payments.

Thanks MAGA you did this. You have no idea what you have done, cult of stupidity.

Can you explain the steps from MAGA to AI taking all our jobs? I’m genuinely confused by this.

OK. No one will have a job then it will be great. No one will be able to buy things because they will not have money. The only business will be war. And then the entire house of cards will collapse and cockroaches will rule the world.

Ok. Got it. Meanwhile...I will move to China. Or maybe I won't need to move to China because China will rule the Earth.

My kid has a job after graduating with a CS degree. He applied to around 200 jobs. Some of these jobs were just ghost fake jobs. But, jobs are there.

India has had a population explosion over the last 20 years that has dwarfed China’s, and they have more people than all of N. And S. America and Europe and Africa together. Nearly impossible to wrap your mind around but here we are.

Well from what I gather magas are farmers and oil workers so their jobs will be safe.

The social media manager job at a wellness start up? Not so much.

China doesn’t want you, you need to be 25-35 not married or not planning to have kids to get a job. Yes, HR will ask you those questions during interview. And good jobs with WLB are reserved for party members only.

Look up
Peter Theil
Larry Ellison
The Heritage Foundation has written a ton of papers on this subject. Can be found on Utube.

Basically, not only do they want to change society to make it dictator-led. They want to give power to the corps, not to the people. They want skeleton crews working for pennies with no benefits or injury protections. They want to burn the country to the ground, and then they will buy it back pennies on the $. JD Vance and Theil already have a company doing just that.

MAGA ie, Republicans own the House & the Senate they are 100% responsible for the loss of jobs and heading to AI ie machines get jobs, people do not.

Farmers are not "safe" JD Vance & Theil are buying up all their foreclosed properties at a fraction of what they are worth.

What is this bromance between these two? Theil could have plucked somebody else from the gutter with less questionable bio.

My son will be OK. Maybe he won't get a job in the engineering field but he can go back to doing customer service or maybe get certified in a trade. Or he could move to a different country that still needs entry level engineers.

There are real problems in the world and this is pretty small in whole scheme of things. Sorry to waste DCUM time.

Of course he will be mommy

Yes AND it's a terrible market. My 2024 grad had fantastic-in-practice-and-on-paper internships for two summers. He submitted 250+ applications from Oct 2023 - April 30 and got a dozen of those stupid asynchronous interviews. Otherwise, he had one interview and one job offer. Great job and salary, but they aren't handing out jobs like they were when we graduated in the mid-90s.

I'm pp and just reading the thread, OP you're right to worry and it's okay to post. Hang in there. There will be more openings for the Jan grads, so he needs to submit a dozen+ resumes a week. It's a numbers game.

Took me five years to find a job with a CS degree in 2001. Good luck!
