For most of us, there’s at least a few years in our lives when we wonder, “What the hell should I do with my life?” It’s an existential question that we generally associate with work. When we ask young children what they want to be when they grow up they often pinpoint specific career paths instead of describing the type of person they want to be. (You probably wouldn’t be surprised if a kid told you “I want to be a fireman!” right?)
Of course, there’s more to life than work, and while there’s plenty of shoddy rhetoric hinting that millennials are lazy and don’t want to clock a serious work week, there’s plenty of well-researched evidence showing that millennials aren’t such a disparate generation after all. One important way that millennials are very much like our predecessor generations is that we want to have a positive impact on the world and for the organizations where we work. In this way, it’s not so crazy to think that the most important life choices do indeed revolve around work. And considering the economic landscape remains grim for many recent college grads, it’s worth prodding our youngsters early about what kind of work lives they’d like to lead.
