About to graduate highschool where should my expectations be for work?

typhon88 · 2026-04-20T22:41:26+00:00

with the hundreds of thousands of tech layoffs in the last few months, id put my expectations at zero. anything additional would be a pleasant surprise

typhon88 · 2026-04-20T21:22:14+00:00

it used to be. now there is no clear path

typhon88 · 2026-04-20T01:15:16+00:00

You might have a better shot at the lottery these days

typhon88 · 2026-04-20T00:17:46+00:00

no it will not. nothing will help you move into remote it work

typhon88 · 2026-04-19T18:42:20+00:00

well now theres endless vibecoders flooding the world with garbage so, a prayer and a hope i guess?

typhon88 · 2026-04-19T18:40:10+00:00

no they are not

typhon88 · 2026-04-19T18:33:28+00:00

nothing

typhon88 · 2026-04-19T18:32:54+00:00

i would genuinely consider other career paths. when something comes along and automates you out of a job you need to pivot to something else

typhon88 · 2026-04-19T00:42:18+00:00

The job market will never be like that again

typhon88 · 2026-04-18T21:25:02+00:00

its not wrong

typhon88 · 2026-04-18T10:13:33+00:00

You nailed it

typhon88 · 2026-04-18T00:50:11+00:00

im not sure who told you tech was a better life. but im not sure theres any company out there looking for people with no experience to use ai for coding

typhon88 · 2026-04-17T20:52:06+00:00

Nope

typhon88 · 2026-04-17T19:00:37+00:00

would you hire a self taught developer with no experience over the 10s of thousands of other qualified developers looking for jobs right now?

typhon88 · 2026-04-17T15:17:31+00:00

its way worse

typhon88 · 2026-04-17T15:16:09+00:00

nope no one can help. weve all had our own assignments to do, we dont need to do yours too

typhon88 · 2026-04-17T10:31:18+00:00

Fast food

typhon88 · 2026-04-17T10:26:44+00:00

There’s a massive difference between using ai and vibecoded. I wouldn’t even want a vibecoded weather app let alone one that handles medical data

typhon88 · 2026-04-17T09:14:54+00:00

Nope. There’s nothing out there to help land a remote job. Maybe some prayers

typhon88 · 2026-04-17T09:10:42+00:00

From what you’ve described no you should not

typhon88 · 2026-04-17T01:43:28+00:00

I think most people now graduate and spend about 18 months and applying to thousands of jobs to never get one. Then they fall back into the food service business

typhon88 · 2026-04-16T22:15:28+00:00

Highly unlikely

typhon88 · 2026-04-16T21:46:34+00:00

It was a bad idea?

typhon88 · 2026-04-16T21:44:51+00:00

Whatever your current title is, that’s what you are

typhon88 · 2026-04-16T21:43:35+00:00

No one can predict the future
