Gen Z college grads expect to earn more than $100,000 at their first job. Their actual paycheck is a rude awakening

Not sure but the gender divide in terms of political alignment seems to be getting more stark.
In India the young are full on fash now. Liberals and Leftists exist in some elite circles but the majority is trash.
depends on nationality, class, sub-class, etc.
It's specifically young men that are becoming more right wing. I heard some poll numbers last week since Trump's approval ratings are tanking. Controlling for male vs female, Gen Z has the biggest gap with 45% of men supporting Trump and 24% of women doing the same in the 18-29 age bracket.
Tbh the COVID shutdown had serious reverberations through the culture that are going to be with us for the rest of our lives. People shouldn't have been exposed to that much internet.
Gen Z is graduating college with jobs?
Gen Z still has the attention span necessary to graduate high school?
tbh us millenials didn't have much of an attention span in high school. We were all hornyposting via notes passed between each other (since not everyone had a cell phone) and had to have books with bright, colorful pictures in them. Good luck getting us to read something with black and white diagrams or just nothing but text.
low effort
Ok boomer.
If minimum wage kept up with productivity, cost of living, and corporate greed it would be over $100 per hour, over $200,000 per year for a 40 hour per week job. Gen Z needs to raise their expectations.
I'm a millennial college grad who has never made more than $50k per year.
Incidentally, this is considered average (median, not mean which falsely weights higher earners) income in the US according to the figures at https://lisep.org/ (annualized has been selected in these images):
I'm wondering whether the figures for degrees also have some representation of skew towards higher earners who tend to have them.
Lmao their actual reported amount is still a shitton more than I make and I have a fuckin degree. A useless one, but one none the less!
Bro, we don’t even expect to have jobs at all.
Besides. When are we going to talk about how business owners expect gen Z grads to all be Ivy League Valedictorians with years of experience…and still want to flip burgers for their picky ass for minimum wage?
I don’t want to hear shit about dunking on gen Z when we’re also so apparently awesome that you can graduate with a degree and STILL be “unqualified” for internships.
This is almost carbon copy of the experience Millennials went through coming out of college, largely because it's the exact same out-of-touch Boomers who are still perched on the upper rungs of ladders punching down.
Boomers have completely fucked 3 successive generations of Americans, and they absolutely deserve all the vitriol that comes their way.
any analysis of income in the US is kinda butt cheeks without geography / cost of living (aka social reproduction) brought in.
when 33-50% of what most people deposit goes right back out just so they can have somewhere behind a locked door to set their shit down at night and wash their ass... there's enough variability in what they actually make after baseline shelter, food, healthcare, required transport, and debt servicing for the amount on the paycheck to be obscured what's going on.
Even in tech ppl are starting to offer like $60k, for the ppl who can even find anything. Like Amazon is not offering 6 figures from the gate anymore
I GRADUATE IN A FEW WEEKS HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA
Back in the day I had no idea what I was going to make when I graduated. Wonder who's telling them that.
I hope to earn enough to pay my rent and have teeth+foodteeth AND food?? dream big ig
teeth do be a luxury
That's only if I get the permanent version of my job instead of the seasonal 0 hour contract version. Then I get to keep my bones while doing the same work for $40k/year. Right now I'm rentmaxxing with strategic food.
