1 in 4 Gen Z workers regret going to college.

The top reasons for Gen Z's regret likely stem from overwhelming student loan debt, a lack of job opportunities in their chosen fields, and the perception of a poor return on investment for certain degrees. Only 32 percent said they're content with their education path and wouldn't change it, according to Resume Genius.
A different report by The HR Digest highlights that many Gen Zers, facing mounting debt and stagnant job prospects, would opt for higher-paying industries or skilled trades if given another chance. Thirteen percent say they would prefer a path without a traditional degree, evidence of a growing interest in trade schools, apprenticeships, and non-traditional career routes.
"Gen Z is carrying debt that either personally weighs them down or is tied to a company benefit that only kicks in if they stay loyal to the firm," Kevin Thompson, the CEO of 9i Capital Group and the host of the 9innings podcast, told Newsweek. "It's a new kind of indentured servitude. And to make matters worse, many of them are in roles they probably could've landed without the degree in the first place."
Generative AI is also drastically reshaping the value of a college degree. A recent Indeed report cited by the New York Post shows that nearly 50 percent of Gen Z job hunters feel their education is already obsolete due to AI's impact.
