As a millenial, I yet to have a white collar job in a office setting. The past 10 years painting and sandblasting. Hopefully I'll get a job that pays more 14 an hour when I'm done with my cs degree this spring. The millenials I work with are from south and central America and work hard

To become a millenial expert I would recommend starting out small. Say like becoming an artisanal pencil sharpener and then working your way up from there.

10.) What will the generation after Gen Y and Millennials be called?

iGen. You can check out my thoughts about their emergence on our iGen page. They are going to rock the workplace and the marketplace—and all while using their phones for everything but talking.

That actually sounds way more rewarding than a white collar office job. Why do we as a society pay people to sit on their rear end and pretend to work?

dude is getting paid 6 figures to dress up like that and talk bullshit on national TV; I'm pretty sure he's got some poo poo figured out

his job description is “watching the future take shape across the vast online landscape" which is literally just gently caress around on the internet all day.

No way it loving sucks, it's so god drat boring. Let me keep my healthcare and do construction or something, I bet I'd be way happier. I just now realize I'm summing up the plot to Office Space.

yeah, no you don't. construction is super lovely. i did a lot of field grout inspection, borings, and surveying where i was outside all day every day, and even that was lovely. and even more of the manual construction is even shittier

I love doing construction, painting, and sandblasting. Just I need to make more than 14$ an hour. I guess I can be a Hill Airforce Base Painter, those guys make 20ish bucks an hour.

Re: working outdoors and manual labor

It's great until it's too hot or too cold and then your back starts hurting and you wish you had an office job where you could sit down for a goddamn second.

Re: working indoors in an office

It's great until you're stuck inside all day when it's nice outside and you have to sit in a chair all day and you wish you could get up and walk around outside for a goddamn second.

all you need to do to manage millenials is give them a task and step the gently caress back while they invent a whole new streamlined process for doing something your old fogey dinosaur rear end would never have comprehended. like, eat poo poo brenden at task.ly your "print out PDFs, fill in with handwriting, scan, then email" workflow just got loving up ENDED by my agile multivariable python script that sends all documents to Janice the Human Printer to convert directly into suffering, therefore sparing me from your bitchmade micromanagement.

gonna wreck that rear end drinking lambusco wine overlooking the circo de massimo.
