Fresh college grads should presumably be taking entry level / junior positions unless something about the candidate speaks for itself, it’s wild how hostile you’re acting to the notion of having to teach people who are new to the field how to work professionally in it.
Given that out of college they’d typically at best have internship experience of some kind. People got to start somewhere.
Where are you getting hostility from? I made a comment that suggests that college is not preparing these young adults for their selected careers and is basically dumping them onto the businesses to train. I have also pointed out that a lot of college grads don’t start at lower positions, they go for senior level stuff and then write articles like this one suggesting that the 6 figure jobs are gone. They’re still plenty of them and they’re still around but they’re no longer getting handed out to college grads with 0 experience, like back in the early 00s. I also suggested that in this field, you can learn a foundation on your own, which is to be expected. A mechanical engineer should know a good bit of math and shouldn’t have the expectation that the company teach them math. That’s a foundation they should already have. In the IT world, the foundations of understanding domains, OS’s, how firewalls work, etc. Is a foundation you should know already.
No where did I say that I expect new employees to know everything. I said I expect them to at least have a foundation of what’s needed for the job.
