    This has been said for as long as I’ve been alive.

      While true, AI is making it worse, as it’s corporately acceptable at the entry level tasks. I don’t envy the graduating class, it’s like graduating during a recession.

      Yes, it has been true since the late 80s/early 90s. It is getting worse, though, as there really are no entry level roles anymore.

    This sort of disconnection from reality is just what you expect from the MBA class.
