Gen Z Is Incredibly Entitled..

stop complaining and start adapting

[mischievouscup]

I think the big thing that she's missing the point of is demand. If you're going to major in something hyper-obscure that doesn't benefit anyone professionally, you can't be surprised that it's hard to find work. That's why things like working in medicine and technology are recommended. They're in high demand professionally

I feel like 6 figure jobs are supposed to be strived for. Its not something easy to get so once you do get one, its an achievement. If everyone gets a 6 figure job, the job market would be in crisis.

As a Gen Z teenager, I am extremely dissapointed in our generation, and people needs to fix themselves.

A friend told me her daughter is majoring in Gender Studies. The remark that popped out of my mouth was “where’s she going to work, Starbucks ? “. I had a clerk help me fit shoes at a store, she was working on getting a degree in physical therapy so she could have a job, as her first two college degrees didn’t result in one. I wish I’d asked her what her first 2 college degrees are in. No one (including tax payers) has any reason to pay for someone’s degree in Romance Literature of the 21st Century, or Gender Studies, or Theatre Studies . . . And if people don’t need a service or skill someone provides, they have no reason to pay for it . . . A quick google search will show how much a particular job pays. She could always become a plumber . . . High demand, make > $100, 000 a year.

Her parents asked what she's planning to do after graduation, because they know her degree is useless, & they don't want her living in their basement forever...😂😂😂

I don't disagree with him on this, but it does need to be said that the price and how far the money we do get now, goes far less than it used too just 20 years ago. Im 35, and 15 years ago making half of what I do now, my rent was about 40% of my income, car was 10%, food 10% and I would have about 40% left over for whatever. Now its closer to 65% rent 15% food and 20% car. My car used, was 17k.. Thats about 3k off a brand new car when I was 20. It's kind of insane, and I do feel bad for the younger generation, thinking this is normal. It's not. Inflation is real, and its getting worse because min. wage is not matching it. Eggs cost 500% more than they used too 20 years ago, but min wage did not go up 500% barely 50%. Stuff to think about.

I believe not all Gen Zs are entitled. For a quiet person like myself, I tend to keep things internally. We should all be humble no matter what circumstance we're in.

[cameronhug]

On paper, I definitely see where's she's coming from. Pretty much everyone wants a fair shot by past generations standards, so people today would want the same ratio as those before. Thing is, with housing, inflation, the new demand of jobs, it's nothing like it was before.

[Bronduil]

$100k jobs are easy to find, qualifying is the difficult part.

[Wrenchfist_Studios]

It took me like 20 years at the same job to break 120k per year. That's just the way it works. It's so irritating that people think they should start out with everything their parents works years for. The statement of grads making 100k in 1980 is nuts. 50k was a top tier job.

When I got out of school, I was living check to check eating almost nothing. No air conditioning etc. I don't know why they think everyone was suddenly flush in cash out of school. I lived in a place with no flooring and places you could literally fall through.

[nemofish]

Is… that what she said? Cause I didn’t hear her say anything about a six figure salary. I mean, I do agree, just because you don’t go to college doesn’t mean you should be struggling to live. People should be able to make a living without having to pay crazy amounts of money to go to school, with no promise of a job after.

[TheStickCollector]

It is easy for people to be entitled.

There's no more immediate life or death situations like not even less than a century ago. These people need to calm down, take the time to actually appreciate their lives, and not make mountains out of molehills

[burgercheese_]

I find it astounding how many people will put a lot of effort into something but put no effort into choosing something that is worth working on.

[naoko]

In 1980 I made $11, 000 a year as a receptionist. I don’t believe for a minute that her mom made $36, 000 as a bank teller right out of college. Even in the late 80’s as a medical professional starting position I was making $27K.

[fishingreportswithscotts]

I am a Engineer and graduated with A BSME in 1985 and my starting salary was $27, 500 and I was happy with that.

[antikythera]

I dunno about this one, you seem to have taken this one a bit extreme, while I agree that if you just a tight up are lazy and don’t work, yea you’re not entitled to comfort or a 6 figure salary, you should still not just be cast out or live in abject poverty, like get a basic bottom of the rung job and still make enough for food bills and a studio apartment kind of deal. It’s a bit extreme especially nowadays to say that not everyone deserves at least a little comfort and stability

[Grifffffith]

Baby boomers lived in the best time in history. Gen Z will never be able to buy a house.

[JackieOwl]

I remember when millennials were considered “entitled” for wanting to have a job at all in 2008, and then we were told that we couldn’t get jobs because of “avocado toast”. How the tables have turned.

[huhsz]

The only thing most of Gen Z is entitled to is a mental hospital

[VeiledHorizons]

As a gen Z teenager, I’m glad I listen to old music and just don’t keep up with the colossal amount of bs this generation has to offer.
