I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have a job from a top tier school.

A research scientist has a PhD. Your son is a research assistant.

You can be a research scientist prior. DS was given the literal role of “Scientist I” last year with just a BS in physics. Not everyone has the same titles as the government.

Starting to look in March was late.

They all hustled, did internships or lower paying jobs first, networked and all have jobs with varying pay. The jobs are out there but you need to be aggressive and be willing to move and be open to different opportunities.


I would rather pay for my kid to have an apartment than have them live at home again. Anyone else?


You do realize this is not an option for many people, right?


Yes. But for some it is.

you're really annoying to make it sound like you know everything and everyone. I have a 2025 grad from a top school and he hasn't found a job yet. There, you know one. Oh and he has several friends and classmates that also do not. There you know more. So now stop trying to make everyone believe you are all knowing.

What's his school and major?

Good fields.

Soon accounting will be automated.


I’ve read entry level accounting jobs are difficult to obtain this year, but those w internships seem to do well.
My son is a finance major, junior year, and I’m not sure how the job market will be for him in 2 years time. A bit anxious!

Great movie as Colorado leads the nation in percentage of EVs and has a lot of charging stations.

Here is a list of 19 EV related companies based in Colorado. #3 Solid Power, Inc. is interesting. The stoch is speculative, but actively monitored.
