In normal countries, no one needs zoomers

I can't stand children and I have no idea how to cope with them. I switched to nursing. After the period of taking care of my grandmother, I concluded that working in nursing homes would be better for me. Perhaps, being a nursing assistant is not as "prestigious" as a post of a teacher in the eyes of the society but it's definitely less stressful. After struggling at school, it's kind of a relief for me.

Doing the work you're not fit for is a nightmare. Finding your own place in life is a relief. I think this is the root of the problems of young people; being where they shouldn't be, applying for the jobs that aren't for them. I read some articles about generation Z. In my opinion, these are all generalizations. Certainly, there are lazy and irresponsible people but most often young people must find their own place at the job market. It takes time. People enter the job market with sometimes unrealistic expectations and false assessments of their own capabilities. Life verifies it all. With the passage of time you learn your own limits and also your strengths.

While I agree with everything you've said, I would like to add...

Prior generations generally sucked at providing a guiding influence on newer generations.  It may have had to do with the cultural impulses to 'bury oneself in ones career' or to be single-minded in anything but teaching the younger generations value lessons about life... but in the end, we have a problem... younger generations can't relate to the 'new' demands of older employers... who think of their own foibles as common sense - even when they weren't.

There's a lot of wisdom in pursuing what feels right... but many were offered other ambitions to pursue, couched in fantasy... and here we are.
