Gen Z timeline:

→ Go to a 4-year university and choose a “practical” degree because everyone says it’s the safe route
→ Stack up student debt along the way
→ Graduate into a completely different job market than the one you were promised
→ Spend months applying for jobs while hearing your boomer dad say:
“Just walk in there and shake the manager’s hand.”
“Print out your resume.”
“Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.”
