Approximately 64 percent of college millennials would rather make $40,000 a year at a job they love than $100,000 a year at a job they think is boring, according to a recent survey.
An intriguing paradigm, for sure.
In generations past, young folk may have almost reflexively chosen Door No. 2. Remember the so-called “Me Generation” from the 1970s and 1980s?
However, as Khaaliq Crowder, a 20-year-old sophomore from the University of New Haven in Connecticut, said, “I was taught to do what you love.”
But 40 grand vs. 100 grand, come on?
Crowder explained, “If you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work. And if you love something, you will always find work. I think most millennials feel like me.”
