Recent surveys reveal that only 32% of Generation Z workers are satisfied with their college choices, with 23% regretting attending college entirely. Many wish they had pursued higher-paying fields like technology or finance. Experts note that college degrees no longer guarantee employment due to rising costs and a competitive job market, especially with AI disrupting entry-level roles. Satisfaction is highest among STEM and healthcare majors, while arts and humanities graduates express more regret, prompting consideration of alternative education paths.
