Its fascinating, because many people in the gen-z bracket were told to got to college, get a degree, and you'd have a nice cushy office job lined up.
I'm surprised people are still being told this. I'm GenX (so two generations older than you) and we were told the same thing, but it was already starting to be no longer true. I think the dot com boom kept this "wisdom" around for a while longer, and until recently it was still kind of true for STEM, but I thought the Millennials had already figured it their job market was a different world than that of the boomers.
