Gen Z Isn’t the Problem. It’s the System That’s Broken

from The Rational Workforce

For years, we told young people: work hard, stay out of trouble, pick a practical major... and the jobs will follow. But the world of work changed, and nobody updated the manual. In this video, we dig into why the deck feels stacked against Gen Z, how AI is reshaping the entry-level job market before new grads even get a chance to compete, and why this isn’t just “kids today” being lazy or entitled. It’s the system itself that's been quietly rewritten. We’ll break down: - Why entry-level jobs are disappearing - How AI is already taking over human tasks (and internships) - What older generations miss about today’s career realities - What needs to change if we want work to be worth it again If you’ve ever wondered why the younger workforce feels disengaged - or you’re entering the workforce yourself and wondering if you’re crazy for noticing the red flags - you’re not alone. This isn’t about giving up. It’s about waking up. Subscribe for more brutally honest takes on work, culture, and the future of the workforce. Like, share, and hit the bell to keep the conversation going.
