[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the parent of a newly minted STEM grad, one of the other crazy things we're seeing is that many STEM job postings are requiring, at minimum, one or more years of experience.

How is a new STEM grad supposed to get one or more years of experience if nobody will hire them?  An internship doesn't add up to a full year, my and there aren't enough STEM internships out there to give all STEM students out there the experience that industry claims to need.[/quote] 
This has  been my 2022 grad DD path.  Right after UMD she secured and intern position with a contractor at 60k May.  She became permanent in September and got a bump to 86k.   A year later her whole group was laid off, but she was able to secure at TS with Poly a couple months prior.  She was off for may 3 weeks, with tons of interviews and landed a position at 120k.  A year later she's gotten a raise  and close to 125k. A lot of her peers she graduated with that year have been somewhat successful. However I've heard the following years graduates have been having a tougher time.

Key thing is to land an internship program that provides sound experience, not just busy work.  Experience weighs more than starting salary.[/quote]

Internships and jobs vary in the experience they provide.  And Tech has laid off Thousands of workers in the last 1-2 years.  Folks with years of experience.  Ask them how it’s going finding a new job at their level or below.

Science jobs usually require a Master’s or PhD.  Let’s talk about the education path towards that versus foreign born.

And while we’re at it, let’s look at the cost of college and graduate school and whether it’s affordable for most Americans. Particularly the schools that would have top tier programs and research facilities.[/quote]
