Shark Tank Billionaire’s Blunt Message to Gen Z: “Get Off TikTok and Learn Real Skills”

2025: Gen Z (ages 18–26) Job Alert – AI Could Eliminate Up to 50% of Entry-Level Roles, Experts Warn

Generation Z is now entering the workforce amid unprecedented change. After a global pandemic and economic swings, Gen Zers face fewer entry-level openings than previous cohorts. Research by Randstad shows “global entry-level job postings have fallen by 29 percentage points since January 2024” weforum.org. In practical terms, companies are hiring far fewer fresh graduates. A report by VC firm SignalFire found leading tech companies cut their hiring of recent grads by roughly 25% in 2024 techcrunch.com. Similarly, StackOverflow’s 2025 developer survey notes that “entry-level tech hiring decreased 25% year-over-year in 2024” stackoverflow.blog. Even in skilled fields like software development, one Stanford study cited in that survey found employment for 22–25-year-old developers has plunged ~20% since late 2022 stackoverflow.blog. All this means Gen Z job-seekers often compete in a hyper-competitive market. Global analyses find young workers accepting roles unrelated to their ambitions or changing jobs rapidly. Randstad’s data show Gen Z’s average tenure in early-career roles is just about 1.1 years – far shorter than Millennials or Gen X at a comparable career stage randstadenterprise.com. In other words, young employees are “growth-hunting” amid unstable conditions randstadenterprise.com. Moreover, many feel unprepared: nearly half of Gen Z say their current job doesn’t match

The airline’s message to customers apologized for the disruption – “We are deeply sorry for the disruption this causes and thank you for your understanding,” the company stated airdatanews.com – while advising travelers to contact their credit card companies or travel agencies for refunds flyplay.com independent.co.uk.
