How GenZ Is Tackling The College Years

Stagnating wages, a difficult job market, and a ballooning cost of living are impacting the college years.

Generation Z is starting to graduate from college, and the trends show they are doing things a little differently than previous generations. This generation is inheriting one of the toughest economies in generations, with wage stagnation, skyrocketing costs of living, fewer well-paying jobs, and more. Their answer: get through college as quickly and inexpensively as possible and get started on a career path as soon as possible.

Nearly half of all GenZ high school students have already earned college credits before they arrive in college, cutting down the amount of time they need to be in school and, subsequently, the amount of money they will need to spend. They still see college as crucial to setting themselves apart in the workforce, as there are fewer good jobs to go around.
