Gen Z faces tough choices post-high school: college, trade school, or online careers. Tonight, we'll tackle the big question on everyone’s mind—What’s Next?
Have you ever asked a child, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The answers are often imaginative and limitless. After all, the sky's the limit when you’re 6. But fast forward 12 years, and the question becomes a daunting reality for today’s teens. As high school graduation approaches, many members of Gen Z find themselves at a crossroads, unsure of whether to pursue college, trade school, or even a career built on social media. Join us as we dive into the pressing question that parents and teens across the country are grappling with: What’s next? Tonight, you will meet a 16-year-old social media wiz kid who isn’t sure why she should consider anything else now that she’s graduating from high school early. Plus, a young woman is put to the test as a plumber’s assistant. While it may not be a good fit for Lucy, you’ll find out why getting your hands dirty in a blue-collar job could just make you filthy rich.
