Topic: Young people are less likely to accept traditional employments in this era! - page 2. (Read 1129 times)

The concern is very alarming this is because if limited young ones are willing to work in these traditional structures (Oil, Agriculture, manufacturing, etc.) how will they grow? The Gen Z workers (that is people born between 1997 - 2012) were the first to prioritize flexibility, personal well-being, and as well as intelligent usage. Of course, the internet money is way higher than low-paying jobs in those sectors, they can either choose to start their own social media accounts that would endorse them or pursue freelance work rather than entering the traditional workforce.

So if there is a way to create balance and bring more young people to have interest in the traditional workforce what would you think of? I was thinking that increasing minimum wages and granting more benefits like health, rent to mention a few would help

Freelance is least of your concern if being an influencer and content creator on social media becomes the main job in the future. Which is what dominates in my country.

Young generation even newly grads only focus on creating garbage content, streaming games and other dance videos that makes them not interested anymore on finding a decent job since they are earning good from social media views. Young generation here spend a lot of time browsing contents on social media and create their own content that’s why we contributes a lot of views and engagement on social media which is alarming to the business sector due to lack of professional and workers in the future. 

Those ads financer on social media usually paying for views of kids that doesn’t even know the product they are advertising. 

I totally agree with you on this one, traditional jobs are less paying jobs currently due to the influx into the digital space and it's numerous possibilities.
   Let's take a quick comperiszm, an affiliate marketing job can pay as much as $100K in a year with relatively less work hours due to its passive income potentials than a traditional job of lest say a banker who works between 6-8hrs a day and makes a turnover of between $30k-$60k in a year cycle.

The ways of earning and living for young people have changed drastically since we moved from the agriculture(field) era to the technological( Internet money) era. Many young people are willing to sit at home waiting for a freelance job rather than going out to work for someone and getting paid little shillings. Research has proven that the rate at which people quit working in traditional industries has increased, perhaps they have found an online skill or a way to offer their services with high flexibility.

Going into the digital era is never a problem as long as you have certain knowledge and skills that will make you an asset in your company, provided that you are also working on your own convenience. For me, that is already an edge over traditional working system since the 9-5 working hours will never be an issue anymore. Having flexibility and the freedom to chose your own job with high expertise and skills, that will definitely makes a great job for you which you can always do whenever wherever.

The young generation (Gen Z) wants to become rich and wealthy, so being an employee in a traditional organization will not make them as rich as they wanted. That is why all of them engage in online making, which includes social media accounts, trading bitcoin and other alt-coins, and other online sources of making money that do not require a lot of stress and get more money, which the millennials and Gen X view as a lazy generation.
But what is supposed to be put into consideration is that in this generation, everything has become a technology base, which will soon be a threat to the traditional workers because with technology, everything will be easy and employment will be scarce, so to me, it is better for Gen Z to focus on ways to make money online than to depend on traditional employment because of the threat associated with it.

 obviously it’s because sitting in your house is much more convenient and comfortable way to earn money rather than going out in the sun and getting your hands dirty.

Don’t get me wrong sometimes I think it’s also important to exert physical effort but the more you realize how hard it actually is, you might just quit right here and there.

I agree with your opinion, the phenomenon of the younger generation being more interested in jobs on social media than traditional jobs is a trend that is increasingly visible in various countries. Because on social media we can develop our innovation and creativity.
Becoming an influencer and content creator can be a source of income. But the lack of interest in traditional jobs is impacting sectors that require skilled labor and education.

The advancement of leading technology always involves young people, and they rarely miss out on any updated information because social media provide this information.
So it is not surprising that, because they already know, many of them will be accustomed to working related to the latest technology through social media and traditional jobs are still preferred, but the position is clearly not much anymore.
There are many jobs with current technology, and they are easy and can blend in with young people, so they are not surprised to like jobs like content creators or influencers.

If you ask me over and over again to choose between traditional system or digital and advance system of work, i would choose working in the digital sector. The world is changing very fast, and development have increased significantly, it is only those who adapts or sync into these changes would progress. It is good that we understand how this new technological era works even if we do not earn from it, but the knowledge alone would help us to live a better life here.

The traditional employment system has failed so many people and the young ones just like you have said has noticed this from an earlier stage. There are thousands of unemployed seeking employment in the traditional system when i was growing up, it would be wise if i choose to another route that there are few people instead of joining the thousand that 80% up till this date has not got employed.

History is repeating itself... Hard times create strong people. Strong people create good times. Good times create weak people... The group called Generation Z are the weak people of good times. I don't blame them. They act according to the conditions of the time.

Which is good because that means that most businesses are going to update how they hire people, I like that people are getting more rebellious the moment that it's not fair to them, it's been like this for a long time and the new generation already knows that it's unfair, labor laws will eventually be rewritten to make sure that things are much more fair. I guess the time of exploitative companies are nearing extinction because there's no way that you'd be wanting that kind of hiring benefits when everyone already knows that you're exploiting other people for more profit.

Well I do agree with you about this. And it is something that I do talk to my brother about it alot of the time.
My nephew want to be professional wrestler. They do not want to become educated and work in the 'real world job' like we are doing.
I do think it is a good thing for my nephews to chase his dreams. But I do not want him to to be sad if he does not acheuive it.
