A lot has been written about the heavy student loan debt millennials and gen X-ers carry. Has generation Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, learned from those experiences?

It’s possible. Andrew Josuweit, a Forbes contributor, says that generation Z is fearful of student debt, and gen Z-ers and their overburdened parents may be thinking of ways around it.

“Nearly a quarter of generation Z-ers report they’ll pay for their education with personal savings, according to [a Center for Generational Kinetics (CGK) survey],” writes Josuweit. “Close to 40 percent say they plan to work and earn money during college.”

And they may be able to pull it off. The CGK study says 80 percent of the gen Z members surveyed say that they’re earning their own spending money. “Given their tech-savvy skill set, they can find freelance and part-time job opportunities all over the web,” says Josuweit.
