Gen Z is filled with life and future, that’s why Barbie created this new personalized career line for them; Yaaas!

Bitcoin Broker Barbie

Let’s face it, Gen Z has no idea about money, but born into tech era they will become Bitcoin Brokers. Gen Z doesn’t believe in bank accounts or piggy banks. Their safe sweet spot is in the Cloud. When Barbie feels stressed making those money moves, she vapes the hell out of that vaper.

Plant Lady Barbie

Dogs? Cats? This Barbie ain’t got time for that. It all started with a succulent. Now, she can’t worry enough about watering those babies (plants) before going on a dream barbie vacation; she is proud of whispering them encouragement quotes, so they don’t feel anxious and grow in a safe environment, oh look she just posted on Instagram about that new leaf hole on her monstera. Awww, they grow up so fast, insert star-eyed emoji.

Vaxx Agent Barbie

This Barbie go-to song is: Shots, shots, shot, shot, shot, shots everybody! She has a not so secret mission; Vaxx agent Barbie will travel the world vaccinating everyone who needs it, saving the planet from measles (again) one-shot a time. Did anyone say SHERO?

Diverse President Barbie

She is a world leader, she is a single woman who needs no man or woman, Oh and she is DIVERSE this Barbie is the first Latinx American President, trying to make America diverse land again, she seeks funds for a wall on the Canadian border, you know to keep the whites away.

Online Teacher Barbie

This Barbie was afraid of going to school growing up, but she was thirsty for learning, so she was homeschooled to feel safer. Online teacher Barbie is the best of both worlds! Safety first is her motto. You can buy the Barbie Panic room dream house to make it even cozier.

Olympic Gamer Barbie

Gabby Douglas Barbie, Michael Phelps who? This barbie has her fingers trained to be the fastest, she’ll make the big bucks, and she doesn’t need to follow a protein diet. Fortnite is her jam; this Barbie is so LIT she will crush it at the LA 2028 Olympics.

These Gen Z career Barbies can conquer (what is left of) the world even if they are uncomprehended by previous generations. Aren’t we all? ADULTING is hard.
