It is difficult for Gen Zers to find a job. A Gen Zer is born between the mid 1990s and early 2010s. A journalist warned of a "career apocalypse". She said Gen Zers must "prepare for the worst". A British journalist said people are studying for "worthless degrees". He said young people would "be much better off" as electricians.
There are over 4 million Gen Zers not in work in the USA. Many people cannot find jobs because of AI, which is replacing many jobs. Teachers, accountants, writers, etc. could disappear. Some people say graduates want to join a company at a management level. They want good money in their very first job.
