“That’s crazy”: Fitness influencer allegedly earns more in gastronomy than in marketing
However, you should pay attention when you hear the word “appropriate”, because that is probably a question of definition. This isn't the first time a representative of Gen Z has complained about work. While some people are concerned about working hours, others criticize the pay.
What do young Americans consider “appropriate”? Alison Johnson, a fitness influencer, shares her worries with her followers on TikTok. Apparently the young woman has been looking for a job for weeks – so far without success. Because of the “appropriateness” of the offers.
I make more money serving sushi rolls even though I have a business degree and went $80,000 in debt to do it.
The reason: the companies don't offer her enough money. For a marketing job, Johnson would earn between $150,000 and $200,000 a year. That's not enough for her. “This is crazy,” she says to her followers. She would earn a lot more in the restaurant industry.
Career coach advises Millennials and Gen Z to take a new approach
According to reports from Fox Business There are some voices that criticize the approach of younger generations when looking for a job. Including career coach JT O'Donnell. He recommends that Millennials and Gen Z focus on companies from the start, not just salaries.
An application should always be preceded by the question: “Do I really want to work for this exact company?” Young people should take into account the fact that they will probably not spend their whole life in the same job. So you should think of yourself as a “job shopper” instead of a “job seeker” from the start. (nhf)
