Myths, destroying generations of career JAJAJA

Recently published an article on Layfhakere dedicated generation JAJAJA - young people aged '20s. " As mentioned in it, only 60% tend to perform complex millenialov responsible work.

Meanwhile, by 2020, this generation will account for 50% of the workforce. According to PwC's, only 22% millenialov want to study, with 65% of them would like a permanent career, and 59% - higher salary. But most importantly, the vast majority (91%) of Gen Y believe - they will live better than their parents.

Before you eight myths that ruin the career of young professionals if they are to believe in them.

Myth 1. When you're 20, it is impossible to plan something

On the Russian generation JAJAJA already had two major economic shocks - the crisis of 1998 and 2008-2010. "Shock therapy" of the 1990s, unemployment, constant legislative changes - millenialy rose volcano instability. No wonder that the plan for the future seems to them a waste of time - everything can change at any time.

And in vain. It was at 20 with "tail" laid the foundation of all future life. On the choice, whether it's university in which to learn, a place to live, or the person with whom to build a family, depends largely on what you will be in 30 years.

Myth 2. We need to understand what you want

Many residents believe Generation Y: before to get a job, you need to understand what you really want? In this search for the "ideal class" could go on for years.

Meanwhile, many famous and successful people in his youth did not shun any work. For example, Brad Pitt before he became a Hollywood star, driver effort, the provider of furniture and even wearing a silly costume chicken, a greeter at a restaurant.

Any, even the "not cool" work - this is your personal experience, which in any case will come in handy in the future.

Myth 3. You can do anything

Youth naive. In 20 years, it seems that the whole world at your feet and you can do anything. This is not quite true.

Millenialy confined to their (yet modest) knowledge and skills. In addition, the "infinite" possibilities are often forced to rush from one extreme to another - I want to try myself in everything.

Do anything - then select any area and not wasted by tens, not venturing, as a result, any one of them.

Myth 4. Ideal job - hobbies

The word "work" is in ± 20-year-olds are not very pleasant associations with daily hard labor office, with rises at 6 am and the evil boss. Therefore, more millenialov dream of being "free artists", turning your hobby into a business.

But they forget that any business (even a "frivolous", as, for example, the business model) - is hard work. To succeed, you have to work hard. Furthermore, interests are often not cost-effective, some of them - not impossible to monetize.

Myth 5. I have plenty of time

The university, together with us, yesterday's schoolchildren have learned a few 30-year-olds. It was evident that the training given to them much more difficult: they were torn between work, family, and lectures. In private conversation, one of them told me that he was sorry he had not received education in the 20.

Generation Y believes that they left plenty of time. They constantly put off something for later. In a hurry to grow up, but in no hurry to do. But while even in 20 years is limited, for the next 10 years we need to get done (to learn, to try, to visit, to experience) as many things as possible.

Myth 6. Do not like the job - go

Millenialy brash and impulsive - ready to show the middle finger and leave work, slamming the door in the event of the first difficulties. But before making such decisions, you need to ask yourself some questions:

• Why I do not like my work?
• All I'm doing right?
• And why do I got to this position?

Also, consider whether you have enough savings to temporarily become unemployed and do not sit on the neck of the parents?

Myth 7. From bad boss Running Scared

JAJAJA generation can not stand it when they indicate. Especially the boss. Especially bad boss. Many 20-year-old boys and girls are sure to understand some things better than others, and therefore does not intend to tolerate tyrannical boss.

Meanwhile, work in some companies may give as much (money, experience, communication), which is noisy or martinet just do not pay attention. In addition, MayklySkotty very tempered character - after a "training" will survive in any team.

Myth 8. I deserve better

The "y" is often too high expectations, they believe that work should adapt to them, not them a job. After all, they deserve the best!

In fact, employers - not the parents and nannies, they do not have to change the working conditions (if everything is organized in the framework of the law) for each 20-year-old employee.
