    Entry-level doesn’t mean no experience required, it means no professional experience required.

    An entry level engineering job requires an engineering degree but no work experience. That’s literally 4 years of required experience.

    An entry level software engineer job requires you to have a CS degree, bootcamp, or equivalent self-taught hobbyist experience. I haven’t heard of any recent entry level software jobs that would accept someone who hasn’t even written a hello world before.

    An entry level physician job requires you to have completed a medical residency and medical degree.

      Tell this to all the “entry level” positions that wanted 3-5 years of experience. Searching for a CS job with just a degree was terrible.

      That’s not to say I disagree with you though. Entry level should be the actual entry point into a field
