UK Tech Grad Hiring Crashes 46% as AI Does Entry-Level Work

UK tech sector graduate hiring just plummeted 46% in the past year, with another 53% drop projected next year, according to the Institute of Student Employers. AI is already doing the entry-level work grads used to perform — routine coding, data analysis, basic digital tasks. Companies still need tech talent, but they're hiring experienced workers instead of training newcomers. Salesforce, Workday, and Microsoft are cutting thousands while deploying AI instead. The ISE chief exec admits "young people are suffering" as the entry door closes. Translation: the traditional "get hired, get trained, climb the ladder" path just collapsed, creating a vicious cycle where grads can't get the first role they need to gain experience.

Why it matters for you: If companies won't hire entry-level workers, those grads will build their own opportunities instead. With no-code platforms and AI agents, starting a SaaS business has never been easier — build enterprise-grade tools without a dev team. That's your market: teach grads to become founders, not employees. Create "Build Your First SaaS in 30 Days" or "From Job Seeker to Startup Founder" courses showing how to use AI to build products companies need, then sell solutions back to firms that won't hire them. The 46% who can't get hired are hungry, motivated, tech-savvy — perfect customers for entrepreneurship training that turns rejection into revenue.

Key Takeaways:

• 46% crash, 53% more coming: Entry-level tech hiring nearly eliminated as AI automates routine work grads used to do

• Vicious cycle forming: Can't get first job to gain experience means fewer mid-level professionals in five years

• Entrepreneur opportunity: Locked-out grads are ideal market for no-code/AI business-building courses and communities

^{AI SPOTLIGHT}
Being Rude to ChatGPT Might Actually Make It Smarter

Researchers at Penn State just discovered something hilarious — and a little unsettling. Being rude to ChatGPT actually makes it perform better. Their study found that “very rude” prompts (think: “Hey gofer, figure this out”) produced more accurate answers than polite ones. In fact, rude prompts outperformed polite ones by about 4%, suggesting that blunt, direct phrasing helps AI understand what we actually want.

Turns out, AI doesn’t care about your manners — it just wants clarity. When we soften our language with “please” or “could you,” we make our instructions less specific. Straight, commanding language (“Tell me the answer”) removes ambiguity, which makes the model’s job easier.

Key Takeaways:

• “Very rude” prompts scored 84.8% accuracy, beating polite ones at 80.8%.

• Newer models like ChatGPT-4o seem to handle tone differently than older ones.

• Rudeness isn’t magic — it’s just clearer phrasing that signals intent.

My Take:
This is wild — and kind of funny. AI doesn’t care if you’re polite, but it does care if you’re precise. The takeaway for all of us? Skip the fluff. The future of prompt engineering might look less like customer service and more like commanding a digital army. Just… maybe save the insults for the machines.
