The Biggest Challenge Facing Millennials
Date:
Oct 8, 2014
We’re a generation that was consistently told by our optimistic Baby Boomer parents that, “You can be anything you want to be,” and we believed them.
The problem though, is that without mastering a useful set of hard skills first, success in finding your dream job or launching a successful mission-driven venture is far less likely.
Treat every job you take on as a form of paid business school, and you’ll find tremendous learnings within each environment you encounter. It’s important to remember that the job that you don’t necessarily like right now is a necessary step to one day landing the career you love.
