The US has the biggest generational gap on jobs out of over 140 countries in the world right now. Here's why — and what to do if you're on the wrong side of it 👇 
💡  If you're under 30 and the job market feels broken:
→ Stop comparing your timeline to your parents'. The entry-level market they walked into literally does not exist anymore.
→ Apply to adjacent industries, not just your "dream" field. The goal right now is getting in the door — you can pivot later.
→ Double down on skills that are harder to automate: writing, communication, managing people, making judgment calls under uncertainty.
→ Build visible proof of your work. A portfolio, a side project, a newsletter — something an employer can look at that shows you can actually do the thing.
→ Your first job doesn’t have to be your forever job. It just has to get you started.
