ยป Undereducated and Underqualified
I’m looking at law office jobs, just to see what I can pick up on the road to school. I’ve also been looking at more jobs at the CBC, etc.
Ever notice how everything requires a field-specific degree and five years experience? Wow, just: Wow. I was almost a Chartered Accountant, I was a software engineer at a billion dollar multinational, and I’m not even qualified to be a fucking secretary.
Completely ridiculous. Looks like I have to get a job bussing tables.
Requires a degree in hospitality or related field and 5 years restaurant experience.
Holy fuck!
Those are often wish lists. “Must have” does not always mean “must have”.

There’s many apocryphal job postings requiring n years of experience in a programming language that was invented less than n years ago.
Aside: Jane Jacobs said this was a sign of the apocalypse.
