“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.”
I get a few interviews here and there but suck at them. I've started lying a bit in hopes that I might land something. I even punched way above my belt and applied for a networking position at a local bank and they want to do a screener next week. I'm not qualified but am working towards my CCNA or at least practical knowledge that I hope will work.
I've since given up on software dev since after 10 years total, 4 years of school and etc, I finally land a job and then get fired a year later. They kept the guy on thst never touched programming in his life though. 70k worth of student loan debt just to get told nope by everyone I applied to. I have 2 apps published but that isn't good enough for an entry level mobile dev position.
