“I was so upset and disappointed in myself because growing up, I was told that if I get an education, if I go to college, then I’ll be successful,” Santos told Business Insider—and she’s not the first Gen Zer to complain about feeling tricked into pursuing further education.

Just last month, 27-year-old Robbie Scott similarly went viral on TikTok for insisting that Gen Z isn’t any less willing to work than generations before. Instead, he said, they are “getting angry and entitled and whiny” about the prospect of having to work hard for the rest of their adult life, only to “get nothing in return.”

    Not working well for steam major like me neither, doesn't work for anyone I know that stayed in Hellmurica to the point I try to help college students I encounter (majority are also poor) since I'd be impressed to see someone 'succeed' into a STEM career (or any tbh) of some sort that doesn't have to emigrate first with my own eyes. As far as I know it doesn't matter what you major in nor how many degrees, the fuck you're doing anything related and good luck getting anything at all.

    Then asshole boomers and petite bourgeois or outright bourgeois sit around calling everyone lazy because they refuse to hire the unemployed or those who wish not to be exploited stand up for themselves a little. Classes are ossified then throw on all the bigotry, they make us attack each other instead of them, welcome to hell.
