I’m not a fan of generational generalizations, but unfortunately I am familiar with some folks like this.
Prospering in this mode requires rich parents, patient parents willing to put up with an extended childhood, or some sort of hook into the welfare state.
It’s not a good time to be marking time like this - because the “safety net” is not going to survive in the relatively generous form it has evolved into.
Usually, when these folks get into the corporate world, they think they should be CEO or at least in very senior roles. Once they see that it actually takes hard work over an extended period of time - then it becomes “soul sucking” and a some (usually lacking talent or drive) just give up.
Many Z-ers are successful in many environments.
Working in a small enterprise or opening your own business is likely a lot more work than these lie-abouts are ready to consider.
Many will discover showing up and working is directly related to having something to eat. It won’t be a pretty site.
The ones I hear about aren’t prospering, they just don’t give a damn.
These aren’t rich kids with a 7 series BMW.
They just stay home and game.
The guys on my team at work are solid, but it’s engineering.
Also only N=5.
A person has to have a “SOUL” in the first place.
NOT sure these miscreants do.
