Media and entertainment is the top industry Gen Z wants to work in, beating tech, health care and education, according to a new report from Samsung and Morning Consult. The report, which surveyed over 1,000 Americans ages 16 to 25, found that Gen Z values flexible, creative jobs and careers where they can maintain a healthy work-life balance. Work-life balance trumps job securityTo be fair, 2023 has been a tough year to work in media and entertainment. Even so, Gen Z is a social generation that places a high value on community and societal impact over job security in their careers, Woo points out. Gen Z wants to become influencers — or have the freedom to change their minds

"What once seemed like the only path forward, getting a full-time job, has now been divided into so many," she says. "The idea of spearheading a career that I design and has all the elements I want is a strong source of motivation and empowerment that I think is unique for Gen Z compared to older generations." Instead, more young people are seeking balance and fulfillment outside of the confines of a 9-to-5: 50% of Gen Z aspires to become an entrepreneur or start their own business, according to a new report from Samsung and Morning Consult. Gen Z, being a generation that's "extremely online," Woo adds, quickly realized that "as soon as you start producing content that attracts a following, you can get paid and become a business." "I was scrolling TikTok after work one day and seeing all these successful content creators on the platform and I thought, 'Why not me?

The new lineup, which includes the 6.8-inch Galaxy S23 Ultra, 6.6-inch Galaxy S23+, and 6.1-inch Galaxy S23, look similar to last year’s models, but with new photo features, a longer lasting battery life (with faster charging speeds) and an exclusive chip. The cameras on the Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 even have a subtle new look: the contour housing has been removed, which Samsung said marks a new era of design. The Galaxy S23 Ultra’s display comes with a reduced curvature to create a larger and flatter surface intended to improve the visual experience. Galaxy S23 Ultra, which comes with Samsung’s signature S pen, will start at $1,199.99, while the Galaxy S23+ starts at $999.99 and Galaxy S23 starts at $799.99. “The Galaxy S23 family demonstrates just how hard it is to tell a new story in today’s smartphone market,” said Leo Gebbie, principal analyst at CCS Insight.

Beauty retailer Ulta Beauty Inc. has tapped Michelle Crossan-Matos, a former Samsung Electronics America marketing leader, as its new chief marketing officer. The chief marketing officer role was previously held by Shelley Haus, who died of cancer last June. Most recently, Ms. Crossan-Matos was chief marketing, citizenship and communications officer at Samsung Electronics America. “I think beauty care is probably going to be one of the most resilient categories, and then I think Ulta Beauty will be even more resilient, just because of the portfolio that Ulta Beauty has and the type of guests that come in—they tend to be much more resilient,” Ms. Crossan-Matos said. Ulta will stay focused on social media, video, beauty tutorials and experience-based marketing in the year ahead, said Ms. Crossan-Matos.
