Gen Z is reviving jobs millennials think are ‘boring’

Independent, UK -   Gen Z is reviving jobs millennials think are boring, and they’re earning a fortune in the process, according to a new report.

When you think of an accountant, you probably imagine someone clicking a calculator all day long in a lackluster office building. A 2022 study cited by the financial magazine Fortune found accounting to be the second-most-stereotypical job of boring people, following data analysis.

But Fortune says, “Gen Z is realizing the six-figure career opportunity” in an article published Thursday.

Millions of baby boomer accountants are about to retire, with roughly 340,000 accountants already out the door in the last five years, Fortune reported.

This leaves a gap for Gen Z to fill and it looks like young people are starting before they even graduate college. Gen Z is widely thought to be those born between 1997 and 2012.
