They don't get much credit in many departments, but you have to hand it to Gen Z for finally cracking the code on what us Millennials took our precious time and probably ruined our collective credits to figure out. College is expensive. Degrees don't automatically land you jobs, and when they do, that doesn't guarantee happiness. If the return on investment isn't obvious to these young folks, they have more often than not refused to buy in. And as a result, the bachelor's degree bubble may soon burst. While the fallout from that could take a decade or more to recover from, as the housing recession has, we still have at least one more equally costly lesson to learn in young society. And it's probably no coincidence that it follows the same formula.
The holidays tend to make me feel restless. My inner WASP kicks in (though I'm technically only one of those things), and I'm hit with a major sense of guilt over both the slowing down of work and the over-the-top materialism of the holidays.
In times like these, I'm wishing and praying that I could simply hop on a plane — change the landscape and my perspective in a matter of hours.
