About this listen

New college grads are facing the worst job market in years—and the data is brutal. 📉

While overall unemployment stays low, new grad unemployment is approaching 10%. And here's the kicker: Dallas Fed research shows job finding rates have only held steady for roles with LOW AI exposure. If your degree targets AI-vulnerable jobs, you're already feeling it.

What the data shows:
→ ~10% unemployment for new grads (highest in years)
→ Job finding rate collapsing for high AI-exposure roles
→ Musk & Altman both said: don't go to college for a career
→ College tours have stopped touting employment statistics
→ Trade jobs aren't the safe haven people think

Both Elon Musk and Sam Altman—who rarely agree on anything—said the same thing: go to college for friendships and personal growth, not for a career. Musk even told his own daughter that by the time she's his age, there won't be many jobs left for humans.

So what should new grads do? We break it down.
