Gen Z is increasingly slamming their degrees as useless, and new research indicates there may be some truth when it comes to the job hunt. In fact, the unemployment rate of males aged 22 to 27 is roughly the same, whether or not they hold a degree. It comes as employers drop degree requirements and young men ditch corporate jobs for skilled trades. Gen Z is struggling to break into the entry-level job market—but young male college graduates may be hurting the most.
Doing what you're 'supposed' to do, and still ending up failing is what started me down the rabbit hole. I suspect a lot of Gen Z and younger are going to be radicalised by this.
Turns out the people telling you what you were supposed to do actually hated you.
I worry about which direction that radicalization will take.
It presents both a risk and an opportunity.
