Gen Z: "I'm not entitled to anything anyway" - even tomorrow's elite are worried about their future

Louisa Tröger, a 24-year-old student at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, is struggling to find a job despite her excellent education. She, like many young people in Germany, is feeling frustrated and uncertain about her future. A recent study found that one in five 14- to 29-year-olds in Germany is considering moving abroad, with 41% able to imagine living outside of the country.

Tröger believes that if young people weren't worried about not getting a job, they wouldn't be investing so much money in their education. The job market is highly competitive, with a significant decrease in entry-level positions, and even high-potential students like Tröger are finding it difficult to secure a job or internship.
