Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Entry-level doesn't mean no experience required, it means no professional experience required.

An entry level engineering job requires an engineering degree but no work experience. That's literally 4 years of required experience.

An entry level software engineer job requires you to have a CS degree, bootcamp, or equivalent self-taught hobbyist experience. I haven't heard of any recent entry level software jobs that would accept someone who hasn't even written a hello world before.

An entry level physician job requires you to have completed a medical residency and medical degree.

Tell this to all the "entry level" positions that wanted 3-5 years of experience. Searching for a CS job with just a degree was terrible.

That's not to say I disagree with you though. Entry level should be the actual entry point into a field
