While Millennials are both striving to become their own boss<\/a> <\/span>and joining the ranks of upper management in the workplace, Gen Z \u2013 the generation after Millennials<\/a><\/span> \u2013 are changing the game altogether.<\/p>\n

Gen Z are taking full advantage of the internet and social media <\/a><\/span>to start their careers. Using platforms like Instagram, Youtube<\/a><\/span>, and Twitter, some creative, hardworking members of this young generation are raking in nearly seven figures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Gen Z is very entrepreneurial.<\/h4>\n

According to a recent CNBC article<\/a><\/span>, many Gen Z entrepreneurs are so successful because they\u2019ve been able to think larger than themselves. Take Luka Sabbat, a 20-year old actor and entrepreneur. He not only stars in ABC\u2019s \u201cGrown-ish,\u201d but he also models for international fashion brands and has more than a million Instagram followers.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything I do is to be able to change the next generation’s culture,\u201d Sabbat said to CNBC.<\/a><\/span> \u201cI’m trying to push the envelope.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gen Z is focused on saving.<\/h4>\n

CNBC cited The Center\u2019s recent report<\/a><\/span> showing that Gen Zers are already financially savvy. For instance, over 20% have a savings account!<\/p>\n

Gen Z grew up seeing their Millennial predecessors dig themselves deep into debt with credit cards and student loans, so many are reluctant to take out a loan for college. In fact, CGK\u2019s original research<\/a><\/span> found that 23% of Gen Z thinks personal debt should be avoided at all costs.<\/p>\n

Gen Z finds profit on social media.<\/h4>\n

For 21-year old Tiffany Zhong, CEO of marketing firm Zebra Intelligence, building her brand meant skipping college altogether. As a teen, she began using Twitter to build a venture capitalist network. She focused on sharing Gen Z consumer knowledge with investors in efforts to get into the industry. Soon enough, Zhong became a venture capitalist, working with $300 million assets under management. Now, she works with big brand clients, such as includes Postmates and theSkimm.<\/p>\n

While not every member of Gen Z will go on to become a multi-millionaire through their Instagram or Twitter, it\u2019s clear that it pays to make a name for yourself through social media and that the traditional ideas of\u00a0 \u201cwork\u201d and \u201centrepreneurship\u201d have changed forever.<\/p>\n
