Gen Z workers – those born after 1997 – are developing some distinct ideas about where they want to work and what they want from their employers.
High on the list is compensation, according to a survey of more than 10,000 Gen Z students conducted by the National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS). Sixty-three percent of Gen Z respondents said they are concerned about pursuing careers they are passionate about because they won't earn a sufficient income. This is largely tied to expectations about having student debt, the report found.
Health care and medicine is a top career choice for this generation, with many pointing to dream jobs working at such employers as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the Mayo Clinic and Healthcare Service Corps. Engineering is also a top field of interest, and many expressed an interest in working at well-known tech companies including Google, Amazon and Apple.
