Leaving the cosy confines of college for the tundra of the job market has always been bracing.(离开舒适的大学校园，踏入如冻原般冷酷的就业市场，向来令人紧张。) Not every graduate hears a calling to a particular profession. Many want to do good but also need to pay off debt. AI is making the transition even bumpier, automating entry-level jobs and promising to make entire careers extinct; on July 13th more than 200 economists and tech luminaries(杰出人物，权威人士) warned that AI could cause “large-scale job displacement(岗位替代，工作流失)”. Finding your life’s work has never been so hard.
离开舒适的大学校园，踏入如冻原般冷酷的就业市场，向来令人紧张。并非每个毕业生都能听到某个特定职业的召唤。许多人既想做好事，又需要偿还债务。人工智能正让这一过渡更加坎坷——它自动化了入门级工作，并可能让整个职业消失；7月13日，200多位经济学家和科技界权威人士警告说，人工智能可能导致“大规模岗位替代”。找到毕生事业从未如此艰难。
As they trawl(搜索，搜寻) LinkedIn—firing off(迅速发出（信件、申请等）) AI-polished(润色过的，精良的) applications, to be rejected by AI-powered human-resources departments—graduates may wonder why they bothered(费心，麻烦) with college at all. Among recent American grads(毕业生（口语）), 40% are employed in roles that do not require a bachelor’s degree, according to a recent survey by the New York Fed.
当他们在领英上搜索——发出经过AI润色的申请，又被AI驱动的人力资源部门拒绝——毕业生们可能会想，当初上大学到底是为了什么。根据纽约联储最近的一项调查，近期的美国毕业生中，40%的人从事的工作并不需要学士学位。
