Honestly, it's not that hard getting a job man. Forget the requirements. If you want to work for a company spend all day applying for every position in there and have a decent cover letter, eventually the people at HR are going to realize that you really want to work there and that demonstrates you aren't going to flake out and that you're actually passionate about the work they do at the organization. If you're really desperate for a job you can write up a decent resume, lie on it if you have to, and go on linkedin and apply for all the jobs where all you have to do is send them your resume, it takes less than a minute and there are loads of jobs.

The real problem is people want livable wage jobs, don't want to live with their parents for a bit, don't want to suffer etc. they think that because they worked really hard getting a stupid degree at a university nobody gives a crap about that they deserve a 50-100k a year paying job. My friend had that mentality, majored in marketing and minored economics, he was chosen out of a pool of 3000 applicants for an internship at a prestigious company in downtown loop chicago as a database administrator. He ended up wanting to kill himself and quit the job, now he lives on someones couch and works at a restaurant because he's still too proud to go back and live with his parents to learn a reasonable way to get by in life. I'm sorry, but money isn't everything. I choose being in a calm, relaxed environment where I barely have to do any work and require education that can be taught to me by the people working there or at the very least given a book with what I need to know than to actually train for a job that I'm going to want to kill myself over. This is why UBI is important, once people stop feeling pressured to get a job to survive, and the stigma behind receiving welfare is gone they're going to realize the the same thing the farmer learned when he stopped using horses to plow the field and bought a tractor. Let the idiots who want to kill themselves for an employer that wouldn't give a crap about them if they died on the job do the jobs that pay those 70-150k wages, work jobs you can manage being at with little pressure and altruistic environment. There are plenty out there, but if all you care about is money you're going to live a miserable life. As the bible says, riches are meaningless, blessed is the man who enjoys the spoils of his labor for he is truly rich.
