Entry-Level Requirements: Must be a Large Language Model

A former Prime Minister recently warned that AI is eating the jobs of the younger generation. It’s a tough time to be a graduate. You spend four years getting a degree in marketing, only to find out your dream job has been replaced by a Python script that costs $0.02 per thousand tokens and doesn't need a lunch break. The "entry-level" position is becoming an endangered species. Companies are realizing that instead of hiring a 22-year-old to do basic research and fetch coffee, they can just ask an AI to do the research and skip the coffee entirely. The only way for a young person to get hired these days is to prove they are more creative than a machine, which is hard when the machine has read every book ever written and you’ve only read the spark-notes for The Great Gatsby. The advice from the top is "adapt or die," but it’s hard to adapt to a competitor that can process 100,000 words a second while you’re still trying to remember your LinkedIn password. The future of the "junior associate" is looking less like a career path and more like a "Legacy Human Support" role where your only job is to apologize when the AI insults a client.
