it’s no secret that everyone is applying for jobs but nobody’s hearing back… even the job market is ghosting us. in this episode, we get into the current school-to-work crisis, how our friends are dealing with it, and how we’ve been navigating it ourselves—kayla recently graduating debt-free from USC (thank you financial aid) and gael dropping out to take an entrepreneurial route. but whether you went to college or not, the result is the same: unemployment. is this a normal experience, is it just us, or is the job marketplace broken as a whole? so next time your unemployed friend asks you to hang out on a tuesday at 2pm, have some sympathy and maybe say yes, cause everybody's going through it.  Resources available: - The Better Marketplace (https://www.brokenmarketplace.org/better-marketplace) - Highlights research to explore why the pathways from school to career are broken, leaving students and job seekers unprepared and unsupported.
