i’ve been the youngest person in my team for five years. not because i’m some prodigy, because nobody’s hired below me since. no one has the cash for juniors, it’s an investment that rarely pays back.
ask anyone under 30 in an office job and you’ll hear the same thing. everyone’s the youngest. an entire rung of the ladder just quietly stopped existing.
so zoom out. graduates with £50k of debt claiming support off the government instead of paying into it. and when the current lot retire or move on, there’s nobody behind them
