The thing is pretty much all employers want a minimum of 3+ years of experience for a beginner role. They want experience for a job but how are we supposed to get experience without a job? You say you want to give people a chance but would you really? Or would you rather have an unpaid intern who would then be thrown in a pot of other former interns who are all hoping for a job so we can finally pay off student loans and live?

I ain't blaming you personally, I'm blaming everyone who hires people. Unless I kill myself, give up my entire life to meeting your unrealistic expectations of having 10 years while being 9 years old, and be willing to be working for a non-livable wage, or if my dad owns the company, yeah I'm not putting too much stock in people like you.

I'm not attacking you, I'm just venting my frustration.
