"This is probably the most exciting time to be starting out one's career, maybe ever."
"A 25-year-old in Mumbai can probably do more than any previous 25-year-old in history could."
"Entry-level positions are decreasing for ambitious, fresh-faced graduates, as employers expect rookies to come in fully skilled."
"4.3 million young people are now NEETs: not in education, employment, or training."
Sam Altman asserts that for new Gen Z graduates, this moment is possibly the peak of career opportunities. Despite his enthusiasm, Gen Z faces a challenging job market, with many entry-level roles diminishing due to technological advances that automate novice tasks. Graduates now confront the expectation of being fully skilled before employment, leading to a significant gap between ambitions and opportunities. Additionally, rising education costs contribute to a staggering 4.3 million young individuals classed as NEETs, indicating a critical lack of access to education, training, or jobs. Ultimately, Altman expresses envy towards Gen Z's potential career paths today.
