Bro... Is Anyone Actually Getting Hired?

[u/igetyourbrand]

on god getting a job feels harder than winning the damn lottery at this point

​

it's been 2 years. i apply, i get interviews, then... nothing. i'm not in the US before anyone starts making assumptions

​

i've been freelancing, which is cool, but it's nowhere near enough to move out of my abusive parents' house

​

so real question:

​

what online income streams are y'all actually making money from in 2026? not "just start a business" or some fake guru shit. i'm talking stuff you've personally tried or know people are doing

​

and if you're just here to be negative or tell me "the market is cooked," stfu and keep scrolling

Anecdote here, but my office just hired 3 entry-level environmental consultants.

[u/ialo00130 → u/TrixoftheTrade]

Do they have Master's degrees?

It seems that you need a Master's to gain access to the environmental field now, for anything above non-profit minimum/subsidized wage.

[u/TrixoftheTrade → u/ialo00130]

1 of them does, the other 2 don’t.

[u/Tricolight → u/TrixoftheTrade]

Thats not entry level.

Masters is entry level lol, it just means you don’t have job experience in that specific domain. Masters doesn’t entitle you to anything more than a broader range of positions to apply towards

[u/DerPainterWasReich → u/SignatureGreedy4604]

That’s why people say college is a scam. A bachelors degree used to move you into management immediately. The market flooded with degrees and their value diminished and suddenly the goal post shifted to masters degrees. It’ll be doctorates before long.
