The world has changed. Today, only having skills or being highly educated means nothing if you don't have connections and/or you can't promote yourself. Today, the attention is everything. Are you good at marketing yourself and your skills? Then you can earn money money and live better than someone who is more educated than you and has better skills but honestly, connections mean a lot too.
What the government and organizations should do is one thing and to suit the modern reality is different. Yes, they should do certain things but the fact is that they don't do, so, in such case, you have to adapt the modern time and way of living.
So old generation could get a job on merit? Was that a thing? I thought references were needed before as well. Because that's what I have heard from the older people. They said the competition was low though, but they did not realize it until they got the job. I think this is a cycle. If the world has changed a lot, so have the opportunities and how we take them. Then we also have to change according to it, and if we don't know how it was before, then we won't even notice or mind anything.
Inflation has never been worse like now, but old generations also had to face a lot of problems. They had a lot of barriers in securing jobs, but times have changed now. We can't do one or two jobs at a time to live a good life. Either we choose to be TikTokers, or OF, or we do at least three jobs haha.
What do I think about all this? "Fuck all that" haha. I mean bro, why work that hard, while old people did not give much fuck? That's the reason they said life is harder now. Their time was easy because most of them also said fuck this. I might be wrong though. Sorry for the bad words
