What Gen Y Really Wants

We named those new 20 something as Gen-Y. For these new20-something workers, the line between work and home doesn’t really exist. They just want to spend their time in meaningful and useful ways no matter where they are. Many Gen X workers (30-something) are opting out of long hours. More than half of Gen Y’s new graduates move back to their parents’ home after collecting their degrees, and that cushion of support gives them the time to pick the job they really want. Taking time off to travel is used to be a resume red flag: today it’s a learning experience. They grew up on the Internet and they know how to launch a viable online business. Facebook is another example of college dorm project. Friendship is a strong motivator for them that Gen Y workers will choose a job just to be with their friends.

Are you a Gen X or Gen Y?
