Unemployment Maxxing: These Gen Zs Hitchhiked Their Way From Sg to Krabi [Chills 268]

Unemployment Maxxing: These Gen Zs Hitchhiked Their Way From Sg to Krabi [Chills 268]

What do you do when the job market is trash and you’ve got a Masters degree but zero interest in a cubicle? You hitchhike to Thailand, obviously.

Hear from Yihui and Jake, two 'crazy guys' who went viral for hitchhiking from Singapore all the way to Krabi. But this isn't just a travel vlog, it’s a deep dive into the 'Fun Employed' lifestyle.

We’re talking about the reality of 'unemployment maxing,' the pressure of seeing your peers get married and buy BTOs while you’re volunteering on a potato farm, and whether 'brand name' internships actually matter when the world is falling apart.

Unpack:

  • How do you actually hitchhike across borders in 2024?
  • Is taking a year off a brilliant move or a career suicide?
  • Dealing with the 'FOMO' of seeing friends move on with 'adult' life.
  • The Scholarship loophole
  • Why one of them is finally looking for a job while the other is still chasing the next adventure.

If you’ve ever felt like quitting your job to go see the world, this is the reality check (and the inspiration) you need.
