The next hot jobs for Gen Z

Silicon Valley has been laying off workers by the tens of thousands, making tech work almost impossible to come by. Millennials believed they were heading to Silicon Valley in service of a lofty mission. AdvertisementIf Silicon Valley is going out of vogue, what will take its place as the next hot destination? Civil service doesn't come with the pay or the glamour of tech jobs, but it offers the stability that college students say they want. When I speak to college students these days, I'm struck by how they lack the naivete I suffered from when I was their age.

Tax breaks worth trillions of dollars are scheduled to expire after 2025 without extension from Congress — including a hefty deduction for millions of self-employed filers and business owners. The temporary deduction applies to so-called pass-through businesses, which report income at the individual level, such as sole proprietors, partnerships and S-corporations, along with some trusts and estates. Some already regret the decisionLawmakers added the temporary QBI deduction to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to create tax rates for pass-through businesses that are similar to tax rates for corporations. But while the QBI deduction will sunset after 2025, the legislation permanently reduced corporate taxes by dropping the top federal rate from 35% to 21%. For tax year 2021, the most recent data available, there were roughly 25.9 million QBI claims, up from 18.7 million in 2018, the first year the tax break was available, according to the IRS.

If enacted, Project 2025 would bring major changes to Americans' finances. "As we've been saying for more than two years now, Project 2025 does not speak for any candidate or campaign," a spokesperson from Project 2025 said in a statement. "We are a coalition of more than 110 conservative groups advocating policy and personnel recommendations for the next conservative president." "But it is ultimately up to that president, who we believe will be President Trump, to decide which recommendations to implement," the organization said. While some of the changes proposed in Project 2025 could happen via executive action, many would need congressional approval, which could prove difficult in a divided government.

It's not an exaggeration to say going back to school changed Erin Vaughan's life. Advertisement"It is truly one of the hardest things I've ever done, but the most rewarding thing," Vaughan told Business Insider. AdvertisementShe's among a growing number of older adults who have decided to return to school later in life to give themselves another shot at higher education. On top of that, a report from Gallup and the Lumina Foundation on the state of higher education in 2024 found that "adults' interest in pursuing some form of higher education is at the highest level" the organizations ever recorded. The high cost of college is also a key factor as to why many Gen Zers have chosen to skip higher education altogether, instead choosing to pursue careers that do not require college degrees.

Read previewHomeownership is helping some millennials get rich — but Gen Zers might have a hard time following in their footsteps. Some Gen Zers managed to get in on the fun — about a quarter of Gen Zers between the ages of 19 and 26 owned a home as of 2023, per Redfin. AdvertisementWhat's more, Silk said there's a larger reason Gen Zers shouldn't count on homeownership to boost their wealth. AdvertisementThese costs are already putting pressure on current homeowners, and by the time more Gen Zers buy homes, they could be even more burdensome. Their monthly payment is gone forever, and it has zero chance of providing an investment return.

Usually, after a financial crisis, people spend less money and fewer new businesses launch. Welcome to the age of the side hustle, where Americans are increasingly devoted to finding extra money to spend. Here's why so many people have side hustles right now, and why economists say they're probably here to stay. For roughly half of Americans with side hustles, the extra money isn't for fun: It's a necessity, driven by financial uncertainty. $250 per month is "by no means enough to live on, [but] it's a nice amount of money," Rossman says.

About one in five Gen Zers, or 22%, say a lack of affordable starter homes poses as a barrier towards homeownership, according to a new report. Some believe fixer-upper homes might be the answer to the issue. More than half, 57%, of Gen Zers polled said they are willing to put an offer on a fixer-upper, according to a new report by Clever Real Estate. The site surveyed 1,000 Gen Z adults 18 and older; 126 were homeowners and the remaining 874 do not own a home. To that point, of the 40% of Gen Z homeowners who did buy a fixer-upper, about 27% regret it, the report found.

Financial experts, however, don't encourage making investment decisions for political reasons as markets tend to react to economic factors that politicians have no control over . Presidential election outcomes don't significantly affect market performance, but many investors still feel nervous about what this year's presidential matchup between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump could mean for their money. "We've got a very stable market," Curtis said. That could make your next trip pricierStill, clients visiting Curtis have expressed concerns about the idea of Trump winning the election.

The popularity of online dating has grown steadily over the past six years. According to the online data platform Statista, the online dating industry was worth $1.89 billion in 2019 and is predicted to grow to $3.15 billion in global revenue by the end of 2024. However, it's worth noting that the fall of traditional flirting isn't entirely dependent on the rise in digital dating. According to Paruolo, Gen Zers have a greater understanding of their preferences and boundaries when dating compared with other generations, which means they are more likely to form real emotional connections. Advertisement"There is a new form of digital flirting that is also more suited to Gen Z's communication style and preferences," she said.

"It's very tempting," Boardman tells CNBC Make It. "But the reality is, many people after they engage in some extended period of bed rotting, they don't feel that much better. Why bed rotting could be doing more harm than goodBed rotting could potentially disrupt your circadian rhythm, your body's natural alarm clock that tells you when to sleep and wake, Boardman says. But too much sleep is also associated with many health issues, including heart disease, obesity and depression, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. You're merely distracting yourself from whatever problem is at hand, be it exhaustion from work, a stressful problem or an unhealthy lifestyle.

And discussion is rife on Chinese social media about 裸辞 — a term that translates, quite literally, to "naked resignation." Examples seen in BI's search of the keyword included "how much to save before naked resignation," "three things to consider before naked resignation," and "20 jobs to try after naked resignation." Advertisement"There are articles on Chinese social media criticizing gap years," she said, "arguing that it is a Western concept that does not adapt well to Chinese society." "There's a popular internet buzzword among Chinese young people, "Gai溜子," which can be roughly translated to "drifter" on the street," Lim added.

More than half of Gen Z workers and millennials have "quiet vacationed" — taken time off without formally requesting PTO — during the July Fourth holiday week, with a similar trend expected to continue this year, according to a new Harris Poll of 1,274 American workers. Gen Zers and millennials might also be quiet vacationing to cope with constraints on PTO and increased feelings of burnout. More than half (53%) of Gen Zers and millennials from the Harris Poll survey say they "barely get any work done" around the Fourth of July. In a separate Harris Poll survey, half of employees said they get nervous requesting PTO (This increases to 58% for Gen Z and 61% for millennials). Many Americans from the Harris Poll survey said they wished their employer placed more emphasis on the value of taking time off.

But, like many child-free women, they'd prefer if the conversation at gatherings wasn't always focused on babies and weddings. "How do you meet people your age if you don't have kids and you don't meet people through that group?" At the first Women Who Walk event in September 2023, 80 women showed up. In the US in 2022, there were 21.9 million women aged between 20 and 39 who did not have children, which is 4.7 million more women than anticipated, according to the Carsey School of Public Policy. For this reason, Curthoys and Collins never expected the women who joined up to be so vulnerable immediately.

Post-pandemic revenge spending is still continuing, but in one part of the world there's something starkly opposite happening — revenge saving. Rather than splurging on impulsive purchases, China's young are saving ferociously as the world's second-largest economy remains in the doldrums. Revenge saving has become a trend on Chinese social media websites, with Chinese youth setting extreme monthly saving targets. "Chinese youth have a revenge savings mentality," said China Market Research Group's Managing Director Shaun Rein. "Unlike youths in the 2010s who often spent more than they earned and borrowed money to buy fancy items like Gucci handbags and Apple iPhone, young Chinese have started saving more," he told CNBC.
