“There is a general expectation that young people should go to college after high school,” Claffey said. “In fact, many jobs need a college degree.

As burnout levels continue to increase between Gen Zers and Millennials, experts are raising concerns about the long -term effects of initial stress exposure. Financial anxiety, work stress and political environment remain as a major contribution, but the increase in social media and digital connections appear to amplify this struggle.
“The younger generation is inevitable than the previous generation, who does not have social media when he becomes an adult,” he added. “Our phone is almost impossible to break the connection, which is damaged.
“We can feel that these political messages are inevitable because we are filled with political messages that may not be accurate or accurate and the phone is easy to access.”
