A QUARTER of young people are not even bothered about working and are probably going to I dunno, hang out in a forest and shit working on their art, they have claimed.
25 per cent of those aged 18-24 do not ‘see the point’ of work and would rather travel the world, become a millionaire videogame streamer or write, like, a hit Netflix series about all the crazy shit they and their mates get up to.
54-year-old economic analyst Susan Traherne said: “Young people? Having dreams bigger than starting their pension contributions early? But this is unprecedented.
“We expected, given the tough times we’re going through, every member of the sample group to say ‘I hope to work a 40-hour week and achieve incremental pay rises and title-only promotions.’ Not for them to reject it entirely.
“Instead, a quarter of the workforce had nebulous plans like forming a band, launching a stand-up comedy career, becoming ‘the next Addison Rae’ or ‘smoking plenty weed’. I don’t know where they got these ideas. Not their careers advisor.
“When I was 24? I lived for coming up on that first E at Golden on a Friday night, yes, but in the back of my mind I was focused on solid financial planning.”
21-year-old Ryan Whittaker said: “It’s not our generation’s fault if we’re just too untamed and creative to work, you know? And spend 16 hours a day on our phones?”
