My experience is otherwise. I remember entering the job market thinking that like my parents had experienced you'd get some low/no-skill entry level job somewhere and work your way 'from the mail room' up a position of actual skill. That it was possible to 'get your foot in the door' and then get a better job based on being a known good worker and then showing you also had the skills to do more.

That doesn't work because companies outsource entire stacks of tasks. There isn't an "entry level" job anymore. There's no path inside when everyone wants experienced workers.

So what would happen is probably a 'Google customer service' level of customer service. Simply much less with the same people they already want.



Or they change the "entry level" jobs to "intern" or "recent grad" jobs. Still no experience needed, but if you don't fit the right demographic you're out of luck.
