Why the fukk do entry level jobs require YEARS of experience?

[WIA20XX]

1) No one wants to train.
2) Too many college grads.

You can also take regular teen jobs and ask for duties that you can "redefine" as being relevant to your job.
Like me for example, I worked at a computer lab in college. but they let me do the time sheet and some other payroll functions for the student workers.
So i was able put it on my resume as accounting experience. If i had gone into IT that same job would have been listed as IT experience.

100%.

Trying to get my oldest son to understand that kinda shyt. He's off to college next year so getting him to understand shyt like that and not be so fukkin literall all the time is driving me and wifee crazy.

I'm currently studying Sec+ and it seems to be straightforward especially compared to A+ and Network+.

I have A+ and Network+ if that says anything

I missed out on some job opportunities just because I didn't have Sec+

In addition to getting your Sec+ also learn Linux. Most people in IT don't know Linux. If you want to stand out, learn Linux at least the basics. I would also recommend to know the basics of cloud computing, preferably AWS.

A combination of A+, Network+, Sec+ with knowledge of Linux and AWS will make you more attractive than IT Help Desk jobs.

Internships are great if you don't have the networking/school name clout to get your foot in the door.

Getting Internships just as competitive as real jobs these days

Both parties are in favor of trickle down Economics for the poor and middle class.

Once Obama bailed out Wall Street that was the beginning of the end. Everything has gone downhill since then.

BI-partisan plan to bail out the banks and corporations with no repercussions
Banks got reparations twice before us

Can confirm, don't know shyt about Linux cept Sudo

Don't stay in Help Desk for more than two years and move up OR move out (to another job. Serious.)

I stayed too long and now I hate everything IT.

I skate by because I have ten years of experience at various companies/MSPs so I have random knowledge of stuff. I also work for a smaller company so the day to day is easy.

There is too much naivety around here.

It is a way of practicing nepotism and racism. Think about the people who have been hired into entry level positions and ask yourself if they really had the experience asked for on paper.

I've always said this. Of course, I got negged to death on Reddit when I made a similar thread.

Back when it was mostly whites getting college degrees, it was the only requirement. Then it became about having master's degrees. Then it became about having certs. Then it became about having work experience. Jobs can't flat-out say "no nikkas", so they make it as difficult and as chaotic as possible to obfuscate and gatekeep. Even if most white people get rejected and a small number of minorities get through for appearance purposes, they'll achieve their goal of keeping companies majority white.
