The 'Lazy Girl Job' Trend: Work-Life Balance or Career Sabotage?

[Urvashi]

Gen Z is choosing low-stress jobs over ambition. Is this smart boundary-setting or selling themselves short?

Would you take a boring job if it meant better mental health?

The "Lazy Girl Job" trend highlights Gen Z’s desire for low-stress, flexible work that supports mental well-being. Some see it as smart boundary-setting for balance; others call it career sabotage due to lack of ambition or growth.

Yeah I think it is the lazy Girl job trend. I think they are not ready to do much as they are always ready to talk about mental health disturbances

What's wrong in this? If you have to spend 5 years in medical school to become a doctor, and make $100k, what's the point of that kind of hard work if you can already make $100k just under a year through social media

Gen Z don't like stress. They always want things in a soft way. But come to think of it. Why would I allow myself to be stressed out for a result that there is a legit option that I can use to achieve same result easily? It is called smartness.

I think it just depends on the person. Some people are ambitious and want to work their way up the corporate ladder. Other people are into work-life balance with less stress. Everyone has different priorities......just because someone else's priorities doesn't match yours, that doesn't make them lazy.

I don't think it's a positive strategy at all, because if you want to earn more money or need to earn more money you are totally limited, it's not scalable, unless you are satisfied with that profit and can live with that amount of money you earn you will have to work more and logically you will get stressed.

Choosing low-stress jobs can be smart for mental health, but some might see it as missing growth.
