Why Gen Zers are looking to Europe to achieve their American dream
The"dream" was once defined by the idea that anyone who works hard enough can make it in America. Now, though, some members of Gen Z disillusioned by hustle culture and out-of-reach markers of success — like homeownership — are looking to Europe as the pacesetter for the life they aspire to. Think long lunches, extended holidays, and detaching oneself from work by the time the clock hits 5 .
"The people that I'm in touch with have been like, 'I just want to move to Europe,'" Torres-Kennedy said of friends back home."There is this attraction, and I've never spoken to somebody that's like, 'What you're doing is crazy and doesn't sound fun at all.'"Davina Ramkissoon, a workplace-well-being psychologist and consultant in Ireland, said she'd watched numerous people move from North America to Europe or the UK for work.
Lily Rakow is a podcast host and content creator who lives in Annapolis, Maryland; she's also a former nine-to-fiver. Rakow said she started looking into the European"way of life" to ditch some of the stressors she felt at work. While Rakow sat at her desk shoveling down a salad before getting back to work, she couldn't help fantasizing about her sister's experience working in Europe — one where the workday ended by 4 p.m. and was often followed by outdoor happy hours with coworkers and their families.
