Gen Z-er Bianca Purdie worked various jobs after school, but has since started her own business and loves the autonomy.When Bianca Purdie left school, she went into full-time work because that was what she thought she had to do.
"The autonomy you can give yourself, that if you're having a bad mental day, you don't have anybody to answer to," she said. When starting out in Rockhampton, Central Queensland, she dedicated a lot of time to working with business coaches and researching the industry. "I was little bit hesitant at the start, being so young … my Mum in particular was like what have you got to lose," she said.
