Hey fellow Gen Z-ers, I hear you. The struggle is real. 🙁 It can be tough out there trying to carve a path for yourself, especially when it feels like the odds are stacked against you. But hey, we are resilient and resourceful, right?
Here are some possible solutions that might help you afford to move out and feel valued in society:
– Consider learning a trade or skill that is in high demand
– Look into remote work opportunities that pay well
– Seek out mentorship or career counseling to help guide you in the right direction
– Think about starting your own business or freelancing to gain more control over your income
Remember, you are not alone in feeling this way. By seeking out support and exploring different possibilities, you can take steps towards a brighter future. Let’s empower each other and work towards a better tomorrow! 💪🏼 #Empowerment #CareerGoals
garbageman actually
edit:// it’s true because in some big cities like where i live, they’re paid 60k to 87k a year. it’s good enough.
are you able to go to community college and also what do you think of the possibility of working in trades?
Idk join the army or something?
Idk. Regardless, I’m Gen Z and I’ve got an apartment that is like $700 US a month. Just gotta keep looking bro.
I’m on the army I joined right after high school after my time is up here I can go to college for free and get everything paid for including rent n stuff so if you’re serious and willing to make the sacrifice/ put in the work I’d say it’s your best bet (best decision I ever made in my miserable life)
You can find roommates to split the cost of rent with, join the military, apply to a community college and get financial aid.
Don’t wait for others to value you. Know and build your own value (the important things you can be trusted to take care of)
Your post history shows a pattern you need to break. I’d say step 1 is to ditch the victim mentality, it’s not serving you well. And if you want to be valued in society, then make yourself valuable. What are you doing to better yourself?
Do things that are difficult without complaint. Listen to others and show compassion. Take an interest in the people around you and strive to offer them love, and support. Take on personal challenges and surpass them. Help people meet their goals. The more you overcome, the more you do for others, and the more you respect yourself, the more you will be socially valued.
You have to earn self respect through your actions.
As for money, you need in demand skills that people are willing to pay a premium for. You can either be extraordinarily talented at your skill, or have a really high demand skill that most people don’t have. Once you have that you need to find someone with good money to pay you for it. General labor is not going to get you very far. If you’re serious about increasing your income and worth, you’ll need to spend several years investing into your knowledge for the future.
What state are you in? Im fromCA and im 25, and still can BARELY support myself. But then I hear from my friends in other states that theyre able to afford a whole 1 room apartment for 3/4th of what im paying for 1 bedroom here
Are you looking into an Engineering degree or an AAS in CAD or something?
