I do believe that Gen Z grads should work their *** off making other people rich. For a little while. Watch. Learn. Copy. Make your self useful. Then make yourself necessary. Move up the chain of command. Make yourself necessary again. Then...........leave. By this time, hopefully you have made a network of a few trusted colleagues and start your own business. Whatever it is, that should be the goal. At some point, the right point, you quit making other people rich, and make yourself successful. Then, you hire newbies to make money for you.
We are all Masters and Servants. The only difference in 2025 America as opposed to 1700 England, is that family status does not have to define who you are and what you can become. You are free here to define that for yourselves.
Not everyone even wants "to be their own boss". Or own a business.
But, as you said, define that for themselves.
Having a great paying job then leaving it each day to come home... Nothing wrong with that at all.
Trading the headaches of having a boss with the headaches of having to nurture a business
can be a "grass is always greener on the other side of the fence".
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.
