Adapting to the ever-changing work landscape is crucial, and while the pursuit of a fulfilling career is important, it's equally vital to maintain a sense of realism and avoid becoming overly fixated on it 😣 

I recently came across a survey among younger generations where a significant number expressed aspirations to become influencers. While the allure of glitz and glamour may be appealing, I have concerns, as this path may not be suitable for everyone. It's important to remember that the influencers we see on social media are often the success stories, and there are many others who have tried and not succeeded 😢

I've notice that the work ethic is definitely different.  There are always some exceptions, of course.  The funny thing is, a lot of the younger workers I see don't seem to be motivated by money as much.  If that is the case, I a not sure why they aren't picking the easier jobs.  That fact about the burn out rate is just silly.  People are so soft these days!

>  so if a person has no skills or quality experience by the time they are thirty or so, they are likely going to struggle. And, if their work ethic is shite, they can't even power their way through.

On the other hand I have seen different things. I have seen women in 40s joining workforce after the divorce and the death of the family people since the pandemic like events. I suppose the world has changed that they are not being ageist and stopping people from having an income source. Which is kind of welcoming if you ask me.

> No one is going to give it to us.

Oh really?! I'm still manifesting my sugar momma. She's out there somewhere!

Just yesterday I was listening to a renowned pastor and he said one striking thing that's been on my mind all day he said

>***IT'S GOOD TO TAKE RESPONSIBLITY EARLY***
**David Oyedepo**

Really outspoken on this one, you see this current generation do not seem to bother about HARDWORK talkless of minimum wage pay, the advancement of science and technology has so maade things a lot easier, for instance Hive Blockchain were one can build unlimited wealth far doubling what minimum wage can pay, 

But then the need for skills craftsmanship is very necessary, just like the sportsmanship who's needful to build a career during his younger days so that when he retires there will be more to his name than playing on the pitch 

>***they will have missed opportunity after opportunity to build the kinds of resources they need to have a "good life", which they dictate themselves.***

It's everyone's dream to live the "Good life" but the capacity to Finance that and maintain it, is were lies the bigger problem...

I love hive because here payout mostly depends on efforts put. For example in art effort in creating things is not enough you need a talent to sell them. But in hive as long as you continue to put your effort eventually some bigger accounts will likely notice you. So in hive all one needs to succeed is effort and patience.

You are not far from the truth, it is either we learn and adapt to the change condition or be left behind. I just hope the young ones gets to see these and start putting in more efforts to work hard instead. 

It's bad for me as an elder millennial seeing the promised opportunities of my youth fading into inflation, debt, and red tape. It has to be far worse for Zoomers entering the workforce in the past few years. Then there is a definite friction dealing with the stereotypical Karens. This scourge of trying to serve people who refuse to be satisfied with anything while you're getting shit pay with no prospect is infuriating and degrading.

That said, there is also a lot of terrible advice from people who say our solution is to unionize and demand better pay as if we can squeeze blood from a stone when no one except the most politically-connected have that kind of fiscal surplus in the first place. There is a Utopian idea that we can just legislate wealth into existence through price controls and tax reform. Everyone is "owed" a "living wage"based on purely arbitrary standards, and no one should need to produce value for others to receive value back.

It's easy to say, "If you want more, offer more," but in the current world of leveraged debt, skyrocketing costs for basic housing, and an education system that has completely failed the past several generations, I can also understand the societal ennui. I wish there were an easy answer like, "just get a better job," but the opportunities are often simply not there in the first place. There is real burnout when you try to get traction only to see costs rising faster than pay.

Many in the US are working one or more part-time jobs because high-minded bureaucratic dictates screwed with the costs of hiring for employers. An employer needs to provide an extra benefits package mandated by government to those who work more than X hours, so they resort to hiring more people at part-time hours. The employer would prefer the logistics of fewer employee with more full-time jobs. The employees would prefer the stability of full-time jobs. The economic reality of regulatory intervention means part-time jobs abound, and the result is shitty jobs with dissatisfied, stressed-out employees.
