The Story Behind the Book
Five years after graduation, five friends reunite in a café. What begins as nostalgic laughter soon turns into uncomfortable truth-telling. They realize their stories aren't failures—they're case studies, warnings for the next generation.
Through their journey from orientation day to the harsh realities of the job market, this book exposes the silent crisis faced by millions of students: the disconnect between classroom education and real-world demands. It's a story of broken promises, hard lessons, and the resilience required to build a career in an AI-driven world.
You Will Not Get a Job emerged from a deeper, unavoidable shift. As Artificial Intelligence began rewriting the rules of work, Dr. Jain saw the gap widening between what students were trained for and what the future would actually reward. Degrees stayed the same.

Chapter Preview
Prologue: A Glimpse Inside
Five years. That’s how long it had been since we last sat together. Not on plastic hostel chairs or classroom benches, but on cushioned sofas in a café that served overpriced cappuccinos.
It was raining outside, the kind of rain that makes you feel nostalgic, and inside we were five friends trying to stitch together the broken pieces of our college memories.
Rahul arrived first — belly slightly rounder, hairline slightly higher, sarcasm level intact. He worked at an IT firm, but not in the “coding, AI, futuristic” way he once imagined. His designation: Associate Consultant. His real job? “Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V Specialist.” He even joked about it, “Bro, I’ve copy-pasted more slides than I’ve copied assignments in college.”
A degree is not a destiny. It’s just a ticket. The real journey begins when you start proving your value. Don’t wait for placements. Place yourself.
