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.
Unfortunately it probably won't have an effect. We will just take it.
Historically, no, that's not how it works. Large numbers of angry young men with nothing to lose, if nothing changes, will eventually, inevitably, make like modern-day Sea People and burn everything down.
I hope you're right. I just don't see it happening right now. I hope I eat my words in 5 years
Remember that events like the Civil War and the Revolutionary War had decades of build up to them.
Yeah, history is long stretches of "nothing ever happens/nobody will do anything" punctuated by periods of "oh my God, how did this happen!?".
Ya but those guys have porn and drugs now.
