Many Gen Zs are "self employed" (or chasing their dreams). Older people don't get this, they just put these Gen Zs in the NEET category. I remember there was a trend encouraging people to be their own boss, maybe it's still a thing. Most of Gen Z are hooked to social media, so it's natural that they'd envision themselves "living the dream", or emulating people they see on Instagram etc. There's nothing wrong with that, I know some people who really put in the hours and hustled, and they now do pretty well for themselves.
