Did We Give Up on Gen Z? | Dr. Jennie Bristow

Dr. Jennie Bristow — Sociologist at Canterbury Christ Church University in England Did we raise Gen Z to be cautious, then blame them for it? When Jesse asks Jennie what’s changed about her students in 11 years of teaching, her answer is surprising. She still recognizes the kids. What’s changed is how often they arrive on campus unsure why they’re there. Is college still worth it? Jesse looks at U.S. graduate unemployment today and during the Great Recession. Jennie asks what a degree is supposed to deliver in the first place. They also disagree about dating. Jesse thinks the shortage of college-educated men helps explain why finding a partner is harder. Jennie wonders how many people we rule out when we expect a first date to share all our politics.
