Not really. I'm highlighting that a combination of working hard + smart got me to where I am. I'm very aware that I still have a long way to climb in the corporate ladder.
My gen (older Millennials) don't have FIRE fantasies, or illusions of striking it big with some YOLO all-in reddit wallstreetbet, or TikTok influences of "having it all" with lazy girl jobs.
My gen knows that we need good work ethics + technical skills to rise and make a name/reputation in our immediate industry.
But at the same time, we don't buy into the Boomer outdated notions of blind loyalty to 1 company, because no company will ever be loyal to you. We always keep a lookout for better options, and seize those opportunities.
I'm happy to provide a comfortable middle class life for my family and kid.
The problem with you Gen Z people, is that you don't know what you want. If your goals are condo & eventually landed, 1 or 2 cars, can send your kids overseas to Ivy, LSE eventually, then you need to work hard & be smart about it.
Problem is you want the lifestyle that social media sells you, but you refuse to work hard or smart to get there
