Amen. People say there is a shortage of skilled labor. I just came out of a prestigious public CA university and can't find a job that pays a living wage. If coming out of a CS program with internships and I still don't have the skills maybe these companies should invest in training me as an entry level worker.

I came out of an unknown school with no internships and got a big company to give me an entry level job at 100k+/year. I don't say this to be rude, but maybe the problem is you and you should look at what you can do to fix things.

If you aren't getting interviews maybe it is your resume, if you aren't passing interviews maybe it's your interview skills (I'm going through this now, as mine have rusted a lot and it really does suck).

Again, I don't mean to pick on you. I really have no idea what the actual situation is. Good luck.

I second this and if you are in the Bay Area and not getting a job, you seriously need to look at what's wrong in your approach.

Why is it the company's problem? I'd go after the university first, for providing a worthless degree, rather than a company's unwillingness to pay for (in their perspective) a worthless degree.
