 My son is graduating in June with a marketing/communications degree.
 I've been urging him to learn LLMs, as there won't be much of a field
 for entry-level marketing copywriters, but someone who can manage LLMs
 will be able to do the work of a couple of entry level people.

 He has other skills, mostly media editing and production, I'm hoping
 that'll get his foot in the door some places.

 Build a brand, make a name for yourself, get engaged by a company and
 have them hire you - that does work.

 I'm hiring for the first time in 8 years. I'm curious to see how the
 vetting process works, because I'm only seeing massively overqualified
 candidates who I wouldn't want to work with.
