JobsHe quit baseball, passed the CPA exam — and found no jobs: an MBC clip hits 200K views as Japan hires first and trains later

An MBC clip about AI shrinking entry-level jobs is pulling views again over the weekend. "Passed that brutal exam, but in the AI era there's nowhere to go," cut from the PD Notebook episode 'AI Dilemma Part 2 – The Case of the Missing New Hires,' passed 197,000 views within a day of its Oct 25 upload.

The top comment (335 likes) reads: "Going from baseball to CPA must have taken incredible effort… it feels like a year since I saw news that firms stopped hiring new accountants." Others wrote that accountants have it easy compared with the chaos in software (28 likes), that "nobody expected developers to disappear first" (15), and that displaced accountants applying downward will make civil-service exams far harder (46).

A companion clip on Japan (26,000 views) shows the opposite: companies hiring young graduates first and training them for AI. Commenters wrote, "I wish Korea would hire young people first and teach them — everyone wants new hires with experience" (38 likes) and "If you stop hiring juniors, what happens in 10 or 20 years?" (21).
