Struggling Gen Z and millennial grads should consider turning their back on their degrees and retraining to become hospitality and trade workers, Randstad’s CEO warns.
I did this as a Millennial (actually xennial) and recommend it. Most of my friends went straight to uni. I got a trade, worked 10 years and then started a degree in my late 20s. No fees as I saved up having done trades, and worked up from there. Now doing science water work for state and federal government.
Also I don’t hate my work unlike a lot of my friends (especially those who did IT)

Im on that cusp too. Ended up dropping out after realizing my summer job fine dining chefing / bartending pulled more than my degree would.
I started an IT degree and my first summer internship was such a shit show I quit college. I’m a locksmith now.
Who are you, and how did you get in here?
