I live in a community full of high-achieving GenZ who did 4-7 AP courses, studied their butts off for the SAT, got into good universities....only to not find any jobs when they graduate with STEM degrees. A dozen neighbors' kids have been asking me for zero-salary jobs just to get experience.

How many of those jobs are for people with 0 experience?

What about internships? Are those people at good universities not doing internships, or do internships not count as experience? Don't companies hire interns?

Companies ask for several years of experience, internships don't count even as one year...

Pro tip: do an internship and round to one year
