if i’m being honest it was all luck and circumstance so i likely won’t be much help. i’m a humanities major with average technical ability that lived in the area. my employer explicitly hires inexperienced new grads with so they can mold them. they just also have a quasi-monopoly and can afford it.

i got rejected from everywhere else i applied, including like tier 1 tech support, random project management, and office assistant jobs. if i didn’t get picked up here i would probably be making like 30k at wherever would pick me up. i’m a nepo-baby so my dad probably would have hired me.
