Everyone told students to get internships. Now they’re being told to build AI startups instead. Not because everyone suddenly became an entrepreneur, but because entry-level jobs are disappearing, internships are becoming more competitive, and companies are replacing junior work with AI tools. The result? An entire generation is being pushed to “found a startup” just to stand out in a job market that’s becoming harder to break into. We’re watching the ladder that helped previous generations build their careers disappear in real time. The AI boom isn’t just changing how we work, it’s changing whether young people can get their foot in the door at all. What happens when there’s no entry level left?
