Members of Gen Z seem to have lofty goals: Almost one in four plan to personally bankroll their college tuition. About 41 percent plan to become entrepreneurs. And almost half believe they'll invent something that changes the world.
That's according to research collected from a host of sources by OnlineSchoolsCenter.com.
