Gen Z: „Mir steht doch gar nichts offen“ – selbst die Elite von morgen macht sich Sorgen um ihre Zukunft

Gen Z, the generation born between the mid-1990s and the early 2010s, is feeling increasingly uncertain about their future. The Elite of tomorrow, including the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, is grappling with a sense of hopelessness. Students like Louisa Tröger, who have just completed their Master's in Management, are overwhelmed by the pressure to secure a job.

Despite the promise of "A world of possibilities," many are left wondering, "Mir steht doch gar nichts offen" - literally translating to, "There is nothing open to me." Even with prestigious companies like Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, and BNP present at career fairs, students feel like "a fish out of water" and express feelings of "perspectivlessness."

The crisis of the young extends beyond Germany, with protests in Serbia, France, and even in Germany, raising concerns about job prospects, climate change, pensions, wars, and rising rents. In Germany, one in five young people aged 14 to 29 have plans to leave the country, showing that the desire to seek a better future is widespread.

Despite the financial security enjoyed by many, students like Louisa Tröger, who has invested heavily in her education, still feel frustrated and uncertain about their future prospects.
