How was finding a job when you graduated high school or college? [View all]

I dropped out of college in the very early 70s because I was bored with school. It wasn't a problem finding a job and I got hired at K-Mart as an assistant department manager. I shared an apartment with a friend, who was still in college, and together we could easily afford the rent, utilities, and still save some money. Two years later, I joined the AF and retired after 28 years and I have no financial problems.

One thing I'd hate is to be looking for a job in today's job market. A lot of college graduates are working in jobs that don't need a degree, have college loan debt, are having a difficult time paying their bills. Those without college degrees are having just a many problems as those who graduated from college. This is definitely a difficult time time for people looking for work especially with AI taking over al ot of jobs that required a college degree. If I was counseling someone, I'd tell them to learn a useful trade that will not only keep them employed but one that AI can't do.
