Gen Z and the Rise of Side Hustles

For a lot of Gen Z, the idea of working one full-time job forever sounds… boring. Instead, many are starting side hustles from small businesses to freelance gigs to creative projects that make extra cash. The reasons? To earn money, chase their passions, learn new skills, or work toward financial freedom. From flipping thrift store finds to tutoring online, side hustles are totally changing what “work” means for our generation.

Your Task:

• Consider: What are some common side hustles people your age are starting? What makes a side hustle a good idea?

• If you started a side hustle today, what would it be? What’s your product or service? What would your customers be? How would you find them?
