excerpt:
"The newest entrants to the workforce are of an age cohort so different, so angry at their elders, that they’re shunning the 9-to-5 grind and upending traditional workplace norms. A new report explores the generational difference further and brands Gen-Z workers with a surprising new label for a truly digital-first group that lives life online: they’re the “toolbelt generation.”
This label came about because of younger workers’ huge swing toward learning highly specialized blue-collar jobs, according to news site University Business. These jobs typically center around unique skill sets, like being able to weld, work with wood or even computer programming. And to learn these skills, the news outlet notes that Gen-Z workers are shunning more traditional higher education routes, and looking at alternative options: data show interest in going to trade schools has reportedly nearly doubled among teens and adults since 2017, mostly driven by Gen-Z, although older people are also showing similar interest.
The report digs into why Gen-Z is leading this trend, and suggests the top three reasons are reduced confidence in higher education, a desire for financial freedom, and indication that trades complement Gen-Z’s focus on mental health."
