AI is eating entry-level work. The system that promised you security no longer delivers it. The only people who win from here are the ones who stop waiting for permission.

A four-year degree costs $120K+ and gets you an entry-level role that AI now performs in seconds. The credential economy is broken.
The first roles to go aren't the top ones. Junior copywriters, analysts, coordinators, paralegals. AI does it faster, cheaper, and without HR.
Every efficiency gain goes upward. More output, same salary. The gap between employee and owner has never been wider — and it's accelerating.
The only move left is to play outside the system. Build something that belongs to you. Stop renting your time and start owning your output.
The ladder everyone told you to climb is missing rungs. Entry-level positions aren't being "restructured." They're being permanently removed.
