moral of the lesson, dont hope or expect that what you learnt in school must pay. most rich people today didn't achieve success from what they studied in school but what they could offer after graduating. dont despise the days of your little beginning.
Only naive and arrogant or conceited people reject entry-level job being a fresh graduate. It is also possible that this person is lazy and use the reason that he is overqualified for the position and choose not to work and be unemployed.
I highly agree that accepting an entry-level job is the way to gain experience and is much better than being idle looking for his ideal job. Just think of the time wasted, instead of earning money, this new graduate is idling eating away his parent's money when he should be helping them already due to their pride or laziness.
Actually, there are quite a lot of people who have such principles, being too picky about their jobs, they think their jobs must match their academic qualifications. It is certain that such people usually live entirely dependent on financial support from their parents. Laziness can also be a disaster, I agree if there are parents who encourage their children to take part-time jobs while completing their education. it will be a valuable experience.
Sometimes people don't realize that the competition in finding jobs continues to increase, so being too picky or waiting for the ideal job is not a good idea. I strongly agree that everyone path to becoming rich is different, and it does not depend on their educational background, even many people work jobs that are not in accordance with their educational background.
I am impressed by the OP because he choosed good topic for us and we are facing that problem in all countries because most of the college graduates want to earn money with no hard work and and they want to get stability and they are paying most of the money on liabilities. They are buying liabilities which have good worth . There are many people who did not get degree from any university but they are earning best as comparison to graduated person and they are doing business and they took small step and now they are earning good.Business will give you profit when you made traffic but job will not give anything to you except salary and you will not learn anything.
