Could it also be that the Millennials were scarred by the 2007-2008 financial crisis and didn’t dare to dream big as compared to their Gen X counterparts?
Whereas Gen Z are faced with mounting inflation and student debt right from the get-go and know that they have to earn big by hook or by crook?
That's my hypothesis.

Yes and yes... but I also think Gen Z watch too much Youtube and Tiktok, they want to be influencers and that's quite literally what they are basing their vision of success on. It's the sad Occam's Razor explanation for me.
From the same survey source as the one we're discussing in this post (Morning Consult): More than half of Gen Zers think they ‘can easily make a career in influencing’

The infuriating thing is, some of them do make it as influencers, earning way more than what their teacher does.

How many YouTube subscribers does an influencer need? A minimum >= 100,000
Very few people can achieve this milestone

Ikr. @cleaningup12 has 1.08k subscribers for his channel haha

I’ve heard and read YouTube pays the most, TikTok pay out is smallest.
This is all based on hearsay.

587 is still too high unless you work in private equity or hedge funds or exit a successful startup
