This thread has a lot of people saying things like “don’t get a degree” or “get a trade cert” or “work in a different field to get experience” which I feel completely side-steps many issues and the realities that many people face. It’s just a fundamentally broken system. The value of degrees fluctuates so much because of a political climate that has the stability of a pane of glass being violently thrown off of a building and a job market that prioritizes either posting ghost jobs to overwork employees to death or outsourcing its candidate search to whoever can guess the most buzzwords in an application.

While volatile is a good way to describe the day to day. It’s been trending worse for many years now.

worse for whom?
if you are making 100K or more, you’re doing great.

Hard disagree. Tax breaks don’t get that low. Nobody making 100k is setting up shell companies and passing on generational wealth. That’s food security, a decent vehicle, and enough buying power to get a mortgage on a really cheap house.
It’s not nothing, but you’re not doing great. You have the buying power of two people making 30k 20 years ago.
My father was able, as a tradesman 35 years ago to buy a house outright, have two cars, new clothes and a vactaion every year.
My 3 bedroom apt was $800 a month in a nice area in the early 2000’s
