So we're not ready for the 'world of work' but supposed to be ready for the 'world of insane student loans'? It's so unfair that we take the risk of having to pay back student loans with the faith that our educational credentials could give us better opportunities, but stereotypes ('Gen Z is unorganized') make us unfit to be employed? This is crazy!

I teach as an adjunct professor at a local university and honestly… I agree with this article. College students in MOST states are not ready. And the sad part is, I’m close to Gen Z in age. I was born in 1993. 🙃 Unfortunately, colleges basically scammed us out of our money by doing the bare minimum and employers are fed up.

This is so interesting but also not surprising. All the big Fortune 500 companies I’ve worked at was always weary on putting too much pressure on college grads to not stress them out. My buddy in psych says this is a bigger issue than most people think. The failure to launch issue is a real thing.

Side note can you share the article? I’d love to read it.

Additional Posts in Student Loans

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???
