What's REALLY Going On with Gen Z in College Today?

Описание: 🧑‍🎓For Millennials, college was once seen as the golden ticket to success. But for Gen Z, the story is very different. With tuition costs skyrocketing and student debt crushing millions of Millennials, today’s young people are asking a bold question: Is college still worth it in 2025?

In this episode of GENSHIFT, we explore the generational divide on higher education. Why did Millennials commit to the four-year degree, even at the cost of massive student loans? And why is Gen Z approaching college with caution, spreadsheets, and an obsession with ROI?

We’ll look at how rising costs, graduate underemployment, and new opportunities like coding bootcamps, apprenticeships, and skills-based hiring are reshaping the meaning of education. For Gen Z, college isn’t just about prestige anymore—it’s about value, purpose, and long-term financial security.

🎓 Whether you’re deciding between a traditional university or a faster, more cost-effective path, this video gives you the insights you need to make smarter choices.
