61% of “Entry-Level” Jobs Require 3+ Years of Experience

That is amazingly short sighted by an employer. They don't deserve to have an employee they can train.

A company is losing the opportunity to train employees. And if they don't put the effort in early.. They are probably losing their top talent and don't even realize it.

Right, it's a thinking ahead investment scenario with risk. But if you look at it from a transactional point of view it makes no sense: I pay you to educate you while you provide me with nothing.

If an employer is thinking with that mentality, why would I ever want to work for them?

A fair transaction rather than a risky investment? Let me ask you something. Would you work for an employer that will only maybe pay you after one year? Because that's essentially the payoff an employer gets when they decide to take on an entry level hire.

Think about it this way. Why would any employer hire you if you have that mentality?
