College graduate who paid 6-figure fortune for his degree can't find a job

Fox News profiles a 21-year-old college graduate who reports spending approximately $125,000 on tuition and submitting over 500 job applications with fewer than 20 interview offers. The graduate stated 'the system is broken' and noted increased difficulty finding employment amid an AI-driven hiring environment. According to the article, hiring has slowed across multiple sectors as employers increasingly adopt automated applicant screening tools. The graduate emphasised that traditional university guidance has not kept pace with labor-market changes, and advocates for building professional networks as an alternative to application volume.
