Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 373 You're still a rapper?

He wasn't wrong. The reason he came here was twofold: firstly, he was annoyed by these people, and secondly, he thought that since he was already in his final year of university, he should at least experience something, otherwise his university education would have been a waste.

Simply put, it's all about participation. There were huge crowds of people here, and every one of these senior students looked confused.

Take computer science majors, for example. Some of their jobs seem prestigious, but after talking to them closely, you realize they're not all that great.

Some deliberately inflate salary ranges, such as four to eight thousand, or three to ten thousand; just take them with a grain of salt.

Some jobs with decent pay don't offer great benefits. They're either sales jobs, require long working hours, and have very little rest time. Almost all of them offer only one day off a week, and some even only offer one day off every two weeks. Jobs with two days off a week are rare. These jobs are either in good companies with high competition or offer relatively low pay.

Of course, this only applies to other classmates; Lin Mo and Chuan Mei are not in the same category.

One of them started early, and the other became abnormal early. In short, these two have figured out how the rich rely on technology and the poor rely on mutation.

I'm just here to go through the motions and experience the atmosphere of a graduate.

On the contrary, the class monitor and He Xiaoyue were different. They were genuinely looking for jobs, and their situation seemed rather ordinary.

There are too many people eyeing good companies and good positions. As for jobs that don't require a specific major, they probably don't have much of a future. After all, if there are no barriers to entry, the minimum requirements are also low. Anyone can do it, making them more replaceable and harder to stand out.

Take sales, for example. There are no restrictions on majors, and some even don't have educational requirements, but can you say that they don't make money?
A skilled salesperson can easily earn tens of thousands of yuan a month, and even earn enough for a down payment on a house in Jiangning in a month.

A top salesperson like Miss Yuan probably earns more than several managers combined, and she does it all while having fun.

But out of so many salespeople, how many can earn over 10,000 yuan a month? Most salespeople are on a base salary, and the better ones are lucky to earn 6,000 or 7,000 yuan a month.

There's a general rule in the market: the lower the barrier to entry for a job, the more skilled the people become. This is because with a large number of people, the competition is fierce, and those who succeed are naturally the most capable and earn more. Those with average abilities have long been eliminated.

"We submitted our resumes to two companies, both of which are good companies and large factories in Jiangning City. But as you can see, there are so many people queuing up there."

"I checked, two companies, one needs six people, the other needs eight people, sigh," said Wang Jing, the class monitor, pointing to the long queue not far away.

Lin Mo glanced at them and saw that they were all well-known companies, no wonder there were so many people queuing up.

He Xiaoyue also chimed in, "It's probably hopeless. We've looked at the other jobs too, and well, it's hard to explain. I even saw a job agency just now!"

"Jobs...and agencies? What do you mean?" Lin Mo asked, puzzled.

Isn't this a job fair? Why would they need an agency?

"You'll first go to his company to learn. During the learning period, everyone will receive a salary of 1000 yuan per month. After completing the two-month training, you'll start working. However, after six months, you'll have to pay the company the original tuition fee every month, which is more than 700 yuan per month, for a year. We're also guaranteed a salary of over 8,000 yuan. If you're not satisfied with your job, the company can arrange another one. Doesn't that sound good?" the class monitor asked with a smile.

Lin Mo thought for a moment and nodded: "If the salary can be reached, and the company benefits and rest time are also good, it should be okay!" "Bullshit, first of all, let's not even talk about whether they can guarantee a salary of more than 8,000. The key is that they have to pay upfront. If not, their company has arranged a loan. In other words, we either have to pay the company all at once, or take out a loan and then pay back the loan institution."

"What if we hand over the money and they don't care about us anymore? We'll be burdened with loans before we even graduate?" He Xiaoyue spat.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's mouth dropped open: "Huh? You can't believe it? How did you know? Did they talk to you about taking out a loan?"

“How could that be? I searched their company name online and found the information in the comments below. Otherwise, Xiaoyue would have gone with them. Later, we confronted them and asked how the money given to the company would be paid and whether it was an advance loan. They then fell silent.”

"They said it sounded nice, and that after I finished my studies and started working, I would only start repaying the loan after six months. So that's what they meant by 'repaying the loan after six months,'" sighed Wang Jing, the class monitor, her face still showing indignation.

To put it bluntly, this is no different from deceiving people. If an unsuspecting college student were to be misled by these generous offers, they might actually be fooled.

After all, people say that you only start repaying the loan six months after you start working. If your monthly salary is 8,000 yuan, you can repay 700 yuan a month. That's only 10,000 to 8,000 yuan a year. It's worth it to have a good job.

But if you have to pay money upfront or take out a loan, things change completely; then the other party will have the final say.

There's no job that pays 8,000 a month, but you can easily find one that pays 3,000 or 4,000. If you ask why you can't earn 8,000, they'll just say you're not capable enough and that you should talk to a loan company about it.

He Xiaoyue sighed: "Forget it, luckily we found out in advance, otherwise I would have been in big trouble. After I went to their company, they asked me to take out a loan. If I agreed, I would have fallen into a trap. If I didn't agree, I would have missed the job fair."

Fortunately, it's not too late, but good jobs are really hard to find. Aside from sales jobs, the competition for decent pay and benefits is fierce. Why is our generation so unlucky?!

In contrast, Wang Jing, the class monitor, was much more optimistic. After all, if she couldn't find a good job, she could go to Chuanmei's studio and work with Director Wang, which would keep her closer to him. She then smiled and said:
"We can never stop crying~ We're the unlucky post-00s generation, we haven't experienced a single good thing but have missed out on every bad one~"
You get called a primary school student in elementary school, and a college student gets called a college dog. Nobody's bad luck lasts forever, unless you're a Gen Z.

Entering university, I discovered that the intense competition for civil service and postgraduate entrance exams, and the job search after graduation, felt like a scam by God.

The salary is three or four thousand a month. It's up to you whether you work or not. We eat pre-made food, so why are we the ones who suffer?

I caught up with everything except the school renovation. The school moved to a new campus right after I graduated from elementary, middle, high school, and university.

And there are human traffickers eyeing us—it's disgusting! It's always us, big and small, who have to fight them!

Class monitor Wang Jing truly lives up to her reputation as a talent from the hometown of crosstalk. She is naturally gifted with a silver tongue and can not only perform crosstalk but also rap.

Lin Mo: "You're a rapper?"

He Xiaoyue: "I'll send you to the 'Actors, Please Take Your Seats' competition, and I'll be your manager!"

Lin Mo: "That's called 'The Rap of China,' you've got the wrong organization."

Class monitor:
