19-year-old gen Z here. I can guess it's because we know the world is shit. Back in high school the atmosphere around working was pretty grim and competitive, especially since to get any decent job you need thousands of dollars worth of an education and experience. Obviously most people do not have this wealth at such a young age and are forced to go into debt and sacrifice luxuries. It doesn't help there is a constant bias for appropriate behaviour and the slightest mistake can cost you your career. Being raised in such an over-populated, multicultural society damages the cohesion and well-being of that society because each race tends to stick together and divide the country even more. Relationships have been ruined and replaced with hook-up cultures. Most women you see on the street are dressed like hookers and have a tendency to accuse you of rape or harassment at a moment's notice.

So not only do you need to go into great debt to get an education that may or not get you a decent job, you need to compete with numerous other people and be the right race because some companies will not hire you if you're white. And even if you get that job, you're in such a delicate position such that if you say anything rude or be politically incorrect, it could all come tumbling down in an instant and you're back at the start again. It's the ultimate game of snakes and ladders, except that the board keeps getting more cluttered with players and the weather gets hotter and hotter every turn.

At least we have the internet to keep us comfortable and sane... Oh, you're forcing me to leave home and get a job, mum and dad? No thanks, I'd rather die than deal with this world.

this is what drove me away from medicine at first
turns out if you're a radiologist you very rarely need to actually talk to the patients
the other doctors still like to bully me though
