Some Gen Z feel held back from choosing jobs that help others. New data shows the vast majority (79%) of Gen Z want a job in the future that is “mainly focused on helping others or making a positive difference” in other people’s lives. About half (48%) of Gen Z 18‑28‑year‑olds reportedly already work in roles that focus on making a positive impact in others’ lives. But while the stats sound hopeful in theory, there are several practical factors holding more young people back from fulfilling those aspirations. When asked about their future job priorities, Gen Z named personally fulfilling work (52%), work-life balance (50%), and making enough money without experiencing excessive stress (50%) over caring for others (23%). Additionally, financial concerns (49%) and the stress that comes with these jobs (46%) are the top obstacles to taking on these roles. (Gallup)
