I guess most of us here are all baby boomers. We had the war to deal with when we entered the market place. In the silicon valley there were a lot of jobs in the tech industry. I worked at a couple places that bored me to death. I didn't like assembly kind of work. I eventually got into making kitchen cabinets and installing/remodeling kitchens, which led to some new home construction, and a home repair business. I preferred being the boss, and the worker. No middle "people". :) I liked making the decisions on how to set prices, when I wanted to do the job, and what products I needed to work.

Many grads today face a chaotic economy, post Covid rules, and evolving tech. It isn't easy getting in the groove of being used by a corporation or even small businesses now. If any of these institutions hope to keep their new employees they are going to have to get the employees involved in the bigger picture. Then they will feel comfortable being a cog in the very small wheel that helps turn the capitalistic system. I won't do it. But apparently enough young people can be hynotised. :)
