Gen Y and Institutions
so a gen-y buddy of mine emailed over the wknd…he just had his first kid a couple wks ago. he’s asking me how he can do something he loves and still provide a living. it’s easy to tell a gen-y to quit their crappy job and get one they’ll love, but if they have obligations – not so much. he’s in banking (i.e. very institutional) and knows he won’t make any money for 10-15yrs. it’s just how banks do it. those who stick around and make nothing for long enough, get rewarded. he had great ideas to allow their website to take application for loand etc, but mgmt told him they just weren’t ready for that stuff. so, more feeling unappreciated. he’s just at his witt’s end now. prob is, i really don’t know what to tell him. i don’t feel like i’ve figured out the solution, so how can i write or talk about getting there? any thoughts?
