The Futurizm Tech Career Podcast
Are degrees worth less or worthless? Amazon raises the bar
Are degrees not worth what they once were? We discuss the travails of one millennial, who despite having two degrees (in journalism), has been unemployed since 2020. Roland has found himself in the unenviable position of not having enough practical experience to get hired, while also being overqualified for retail or hospitality work. Hosts Pete and Will discuss where we think he’s gone wrong, how to improve his job search strategy and the advice given to youngsters when choosing their degree. Do they follow their passion or the potential future pay cheque?
Amazon also brings back “Bar Raisers”. We see what this means for the company and candidates alike.
