It's ridiculously funny that if I were to graduate from HBS today with an MBA, I would have a lower chance of securing my first job as an analyst at a private equity fund, as a fresh graduate. The numbers for graduates are even more terrible. Yes, I did the math and they are abysmal today.

I didn't read the article (paywalled), but did the headline is "young graduates face the grimmest job market in years". Did they address how many years? I've seen now compared to 2000 & 2008, which were bad, but that we bounced back from. Is it the grimmest job market in years or the grimmest in centuries?

The geezers in power have been grooming them for the peasantry. The signaling is explicit. You will own nothing and you will be happy.

And you will only be happy of course because it’s above you status to worry about the upsetting things.
