Why is GenZ quitting jobs and living off their parents seen as “bucking the system”?

I keep hearing people say they won't work shytty jobs but...there are plenty of good jobs available to Americans that can't even get proper responses because people are bullshytting. Don't have a college degree and don't want to work retail/fast food? Learn a fukking trade or get a government job (post office, military, etc). Yet we're at a point where a lot of people, including a LOT of black men, simply will not do jack shyt. This isn't sustainable...I hope people understand this.
Have to agree

I seen non retail or fast food jobs looking to hire people to start at 16/17 dollars and these motherfukkers turning it down, because it’s wasting their time for social media

OP sounding like a true hater. Like he actually believes that black people should work over 60 hours a week until they die. I salute these youngins for saying fukk the system and working smarter not harder.
How are you working smarter not harder if you aren’t working at all?
:heh:

I keep seeing on social media about how GenZ ain’t going for what pass generations went thru, how they’re standing up against the system etc..

How? What exactly are they doing? I don’t even know any one in GenZ with their own spot, and the oldest are like 26 now

What am I missing ?
Sometimes you have to sit back and look at the overall picture. When I was in my 20s, I recall renting apartments for $500-$600. Gen-Z folks are not seeing that and owning a home is another story. That pretty much answers your question why you don't know anyone who owns their spot. Then you have to factor people are not retiring which essentially takes jobs from the youth. Gen-Z is facing an uphill battle previously generations did not encounter. That's why I don't blame them much. :manny:

It’s social media

It’s people on social media who say credit is better than cash, college is a scam, and black folks are inherently dumb and shouldn’t work important jobs

I don’t believe this to be true, it’s more so folks lost in the sauce with no guidance versus people just not wanting to do anything

People failed the younger generations, and I believe that to be true because people failed me and my peers

Zay a troll but from the actual title of the thread is he wrong??

If you just living off your parents then you just a bum your not getting around the system your just leeching.
In other countries you stay with ya parents until your damn near married.. I couldn’t do that shyt but my parents never kicked me out as long as I was working or in school. They wouldn’t even want rent since they was making good money just wanted chores done.

I moved out at 28 , ended up graduating college , etc my sis staying home also and she saved so much money + degreed up

Now if you’re in the basement all day jacking off then shyttt I agree

It's called not following the as we all now know bullshyt blueprint that society sells you. The fact that people who having experienced life STILL sit here and tell people they should run out and struggle to be somewhere when everybody doesn't have to is crazy. Stay where you have fukking resources, check your ego.......people so quick to tall about my own they willing to do the worst to not admit to their people they fukked up.........STAY IN THE fukkING NEST AND BUILD A SOLID FOUNDATION........lady just posted on here the other day about family planning..........mufukkas need to practice life planning.......out here planning off emotions and shyt........

If trades was so important they would’ve never had took them out of highschools in the first place, they would be openly promoting that shyt creating programs for these kids, and the tripped out part about it is it’s folks who supposed be getting paid to help navigate shyt for these younger folks and they don’t be doing a damn thing

I wish I was able to get a trade while in highschool

Exactly. Lot of people are 100% fine with living online via their phone. If someone can do just enough to pay their phone bill and part of their rent (roommate situation) they're content. For men just replace the phone with videogames, MCU, etc.

My cousin went from working at Burger King to getting his HVAC shyt together and just got his first apartment. There are opportunities out here for people who don't want to go to college, or can't afford it.

I truly understand what you are saying but you cant be a king living in your parents castle . Independence is a powerful thing....laying up in the same room you been in since I been a kid ....can't walk but naked in your on place nah man .parents want their independence as well i here many coworkers can't wait for their grown kids to leave because their children want to party and tear up there house even tho they work I can't do it.even my step son from my first marriage left the house at 18 in 2013 and been on his own since and he loves it no bums allowed

Yah. You are sounding old. Anyone who worked in fast food and retail knows the pay is unstable. One week you work 35 hours and the next week you work 10. I do believe many should do something but I don't blame them not wanting to.
