Nearly half of 2025 college graduates are underemployed or struggling to find work, and many Gen Z graduates are entering one of the toughest job markets in years.
In this episode of AW Confidential, host Yvette sits down with a very special guest, her daughter, for a candid mother–daughter conversation about navigating the same uncertain job market from two completely different generations.
After graduating in 2025, her daughter expected to step into the workforce. Instead, she found herself facing the realities many Gen Z graduates are experiencing today: competitive job searches, unrealistic entry-level expectations, and a hiring market that feels impossible to break into.
At the same time, Yvette made a bold decision of her own, walking away from a toxic workplace and stepping into entrepreneurship, building the AW Truth Bombs merch line together during a period of uncertainty.
Together they unpack:
The truth about the Gen Z job market
Why the “Gen Z is lazy” narrative is misleading
The emotional toll of job searching
What college doesn’t teach you about the real world
And what happens when you stop waiting for opportunities and start creating your own
Honest, funny, and full of truth bombs, this episode is for anyone navigating career uncertainty, job search frustration, generational shifts in the workforce, and the courage it takes to reinvent yourself.
Because sometimes the path you expected disappears… and something even more powerful begins.
