Is Work a Four-Letter Word???
![]() |
Here’s an interesting story. *It seems as though Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and her daughter Chelsea have a typical mother/daughter relationship: they say things that tick one another off.* In a recent appearance, Sen. Clinton told a crowd that young people today think they are entitled to much more than they are. She said we are a _”culture that has a premium on instant gratification”_. and that *young people today think _”work is a four letter word.”_* |
Chelsea, 26, who was hired in 2003 as a consultant by McKinsey & Co., with a very generous starting salary, took immediate offense to her mother’s accusation. She phoned her mother and her mom ended up apologizing to her.
Now here is a tricky subject. I think *our generation is a little more selective about the work they want to do, but only because there is so much more opportunity today.* In our parent’s generation, the plan was to graduate college and get a steady entry-level position and work your way up the ladder. Today we stay in school longer, *we spend so much more time goofing off on the web, but that internet knowledge is what makes us so much more employable.* It _is_ possible to start high these days. *And who says we’re not qualified?* After all, Chelsea received a master’s degree from Oxford University in England after graduating from Stanford in 2001. She’s probably _really_ smart and possibly even deserving of her six-figure salary _(not saying that her role as once-first-daughter has nothing to do with it)_. *But hey, all I’m saying is that we _(this generation)_ have a different dream.* It’s about working less, having fun with the work that we _do_ do and making the most out of life. And dang it…we’re gonna do it! “Read the news story”://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/05/15/politics/main1618081.shtml?source=RSS&attr=HOME_1618081&source=GoogleRSSTopStories&creative=topkeyword
