Even though I work with 2 different industries, the similarity is that I am working with graduates that have little to no experience in the industries. There are always discussions about the $$. One industry has mostly older adults looking to change careers. For that group, there is some kind of disconnect with how much the hourly rate may be with them being entry level. Even though it's explained numerous times, there is always at least 1 or 2, that will 'hold out' hoping for a hire hourly salary because they are trying to come close to what they are currently making. So they may not land a new position within a month or 2 of graduating. It's frustrating as a career advisor because the salary is discussed from the start of the program.
