In top news, Gen Z is reviving a boring job that
millennials and baby -goomers abandoned, and
it is helping them land six -figure careers straight
out of college. As millions of baby boomer accountants
prepare for retirement, the industry faces a
talent shortage crisis. Gen Z is realizing this
six -figure career opportunity by assisting individuals
with tax filing for free. In the past five years,
approximately 340 ,000 accountants have quit,
with 75 % expected to retire soon. Students in
volunteer income tax assistance programs helped
low -income Americans claim nearly $11 million
in refunds last year. With high salaries and
high placement rates, Gen Z may shift views on

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the
show. Let's talk tech. Apple's Liquid Glass is
being hailed as the next decade's user experience,
but experts caution it may leave users behind.
This week, Apple introduced its most significant
design update in years, aiming to redefine its

to outright broken. While the design is visually
