Everyone's blaming AI for stealing entry-level jobs. They're wrong.

The real culprit is staring us in the mirror. American graduates have become unemployable. Not because they lack degrees. Not because they're unlucky. Because they can't do the work.

Walk into any company trying to hire entry-level talent. The stories are identical. New hires who can't write a coherent email. Who need their hand held for basic tasks. Who crumble under feedback. Who expect praise for showing up.

This didn't happen overnight. Grade inflation turned A's into participation trophies. A 3.8 GPA means nothing when everyone has one.

Employers stopped trusting transcripts years ago.

Parents helicopter-parented their way into raising fragile adults.

Kids who never failed, never struggled, never learned resilience.

They hit the workforce expecting the same cushioned experience.

Reality hits hard. Basic skills vanished somewhere between high school and graduation.

Critical thinking became multiple choice answers. Writing became text speak. Problem-solving became "I'll Google it later."

Then remote work changed everything. Suddenly companies could hire a sharp developer in Poland for half the price of a mediocre one in Portland.

A brilliant designer in Argentina instead of an entitled graduate in Atlanta. The talent pool exploded globally.

Why hire locally when you can hire the best person anywhere? The math is brutal but simple.

A company needs results. Local graduate demands $60K, needs six months of training, might quit after a year.

International talent costs $35K, starts contributing immediately, stays loyal. Which would you choose?

AI isn't the sole villain here. It's just making the gap more obvious. When a tool can outperform your entry-level workforce, the problem isn't the tool. The problem is the workforce.

Companies are realizing they don't need warm bodies in seats. They need people who can think, adapt, and deliver.

Those people exist. They're just not necessarily the ones walking across graduation stages in America. This isn't about being anti-American. It's about being pro-competence.

The solution isn't to blame technology or globalization. It's to get better. To raise standards. To prepare people for reality instead of protecting them from it.
