Comments on: Generation Y: Told We Can Change The World…. But Can We? http://uniquefrequency.com/2009/10/21/generation-y-told-we-can-change-the-world-but-can-we/ Social Media & Digital Marketing in Singapore Sun, 14 Mar 2010 08:01:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: weekee http://uniquefrequency.com/2009/10/21/generation-y-told-we-can-change-the-world-but-can-we/comment-page-1/#comment-3351 weekee Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:42:50 +0000 http://uniquefrequency.com/?p=1010#comment-3351 interesting view though isn't it true that the current generation are much better off as far as choices are concerned? A few years back maybe for most, the path is to just find a stable job and work. But the current generation is more mobile, there are more choices, more support of entrepreneurship and people are more connected. The current generation has much more tools and resources to live the way they want. As for MNCs been slow etc, all companies are different. Instead of feeling frustrated, one can always work for a startup, etc. The current generation has lots of choices, it is up to you guys to exercise them. interesting view though isn’t it true that the current generation are much better off as far as choices are concerned?

I definitely agree but I suppose for many of us the big corporations provide the stability and environments that we want/need as a first job and that's why we head there instead of the startup route. Perhaps neither is actually better than the other because though maybe the startups will be more flexible and empowering, there might not be as much training or big budgets in place for experience. @Ziqi: Thanks for the comment!

In many of these companies, most of us fresh grads are told we have to "pay our dues": doing tasks that may or may not put us closer to where we want to be. Thats why many of us simply "get by". Thats why we have startups and entrepreneurs. Startups (especially those started by Gen X or Y) understand the need to change and evolve, or die. (Actually most die anyway) Management in most MNCs don't want to change, they feel they don't need to, until its all too late. I personally feel I'll be more motivated to work in a startup or be an entrepreneur... although it isn't a popular choice. Cheers.
