Gen Z is coming into the workforce and — in the grand tradition of what Millennials cringe-ily called “adulting” — they’re complaining about how much easier older generations have had it financially.
Because ultimately college / studies are mostly worthless and only prove you are a “hardworker” since an inconsistent person wouldn’t have a degree. All you actually learn, you learn at work and every company does stuff differently. So you get an “entry” position in a company that’s not willing to teach you and would rather just use you as a coffee maker
An important point is that it’s only a head start. Once you are actually working and have experience the degree doesn’t matter unless it’s required by the company or for government jobs. Plenty of people without degrees do very well for themselves. They don’t accept that working as a barista or at a gas station is a career and seek out other options.
I have noticed for many years now in our hiring, one of the most important things candidates are concerned with is simply “do you fucking train how to do the job? Or are you a lazy idiot?” They don’t want to be in that position. It seems supervisors all over don’t know what the job means.

What if baristas and gas station attendants made enough money to buy houses, afford health care, and pay off university loans? That would be amazing.
Would be cool, but sadly it’s not happening.

America… in the 70s and 80s
