WSJ Your Money Briefing · Want a Good Job by Age 30? Take These Steps in Your 20s. · 10 May 2023 podcast

Yes, and I did talk to a number of workers who did not go to college or did not start out going to college for many reasons, either when they were in their early 20s years ago or during the pandemic even a couple of years ago.

What the Georgetown researchers found and what some of these people told me too is that

There are really important choices that you can be making.

The first is the industry and the type of job matter.

If you can work in a high paying field, science, technology, or finance, or business, or the like, instead of a low paying field like food services or arts, that can make a difference for you if you hold that type of position in your early 20s.

The other aspect is blue-collar work can also give a boost, and there was an effect of if you could even keep a job between 20 and 22, that continuous employment over those years makes a difference for your likelihood of getting a good job when you're 30.

So that's a great question.

Yes, avoiding employment gaps, especially in your early 20s from 20 to 22, that makes a difference.

One reason, according to the researchers, is that some hiring managers might have a stigma against hiring someone with a resume gap or someone who is unemployed.

The other aspect of it is just from a sheer skills development perspective.

The thought being that if you are constantly employed in those years, you will be learning and growing and gaining new skills.

And that might ultimately set you on a trajectory of having a better job several years later.

Gen Z workers are expressing that boundaries are important to them, and at least compared to other generations, they might be less willing to go above and beyond a job description. matched

Some workers are finding that those individual reports or that type of data is being generalized about all of Gen Z workers, and some of the ambitious early career folks are navigating this as they enter the workplace. matched

Hey, thanks for having me. matched

It's a great question. matched

So you see some young workers on platforms like TikTok expressing how they're pursuing work by setting boundaries, working to live, really being focused on what they do outside of their careers. matched

And when some of these videos go viral, it sets up a narrative that matched

this generation is not that interested in pushing themselves or working hard. matched

To be clear, it's not just all viral videos. matched
