The ways of earning and living for young people have changed drastically since we moved from the agriculture(field) era to the technological( Internet money) era. Many young people are willing to sit at home waiting for a freelance job rather than going out to work for someone and getting paid little shillings. Research has proven that the rate at which people quit working in traditional industries has increased, perhaps they have found an online skill or a way to offer their services with high flexibility.

The concern is very alarming this is because if limited young ones are willing to work in these traditional structures (Oil, Agriculture, manufacturing, etc.) how will they grow? The Gen Z workers (that is people born between 1997 - 2012) were the first to prioritize flexibility, personal well-being, and as well as intelligent usage. Of course, the internet money is way higher than low-paying jobs in those sectors, they can either choose to start their own social media accounts that would endorse them or pursue freelance work rather than entering the traditional workforce.

So if there is a way to create balance and bring more young people to have interest in the traditional workforce what would you think of? I was thinking that increasing minimum wages and granting more benefits like health, rent to mention a few would help

I work as a UI/UX designer in a very comfortable working environment where sometimes I can play ping-pong, PlayStation and have some fun while my salary remains significantly higher than those who do manual labour and very physically intensive jobs.
As the young generation grows, they see how some people do a little job and have lots of money while others work very very hard and barely have money for food. It's hard to motivate them to work in traditional industries, and their parents do everything to make that happen, to protect their kids from working in traditional industries.

GenZ isn't going to work in those industries and I think that if AI and robots develop soon enough before the elder generation (40+) retires, then we can be safe or those traditional industries will be forced to offer higher salaries, less physical work and better working conditions.

Agreed with this , its mixture of prejudice, too much hardwork and getting paid a little the thing that keeping newer generation from doing these traditional jobs. its good that now people could multiple yield with the usage of machinery. eventually in the future AI will also be used but for right now the primary reasoning is just simply all those three, I still remember in twitter there's this tweet that gone viral about someone having a date with farmer and gifted cheese which honestly is completely normal back then but right now its rather strange in the eyes of the newer generation.
but how can we blame them if the earning is just too low with all these works, the one that makes most are the people working in finance which has no direct correlation with all these commodities yet they make the most so the newer generation find out about this and never look back at traditional jobs.
also the fact that social media incentives luxury and the society put the people who lives a luxurious life regardless of earning in an upper social status can't help either.

but I personally find this as a opportunity also, the fact that the newer generation outright refuses agricultural and farming and kind of obvious that it will eventually be replaced by AI and machinery can be a good opportunity for people to startup a company that explore the potential of the use of an AI in this field and will probably make a ton in the future, since the people who are willing to do this job is greatly reduced due to negative sentiment but the need for food is as high as ever.
