I really think a big change is going to happen in the workforce in the next 10 years. The baby boomers will be retiring and my generation doesn't have the numbers nor the desire take over those jobs. I think corporations are going to start adopting more work-at-home and flexible hours policies.
I truly don't think it's laziness. So many of my friends are prolonging their education in studies that they truly don't love just because they don't want to be a slave to the 9-5 just yet. I see friends working at bars, as servers or in retail who are bright and confident.
My dad was always on business trips and my mother was always stressed out. It's not the life I want for myself. Admittedly, I'm one of those many women from my generation that is hoping stop working for a few years after I have my children. So many people from my generation were stuck in daycare or raised by a nanny; by the time their parents got home, they were too exhaused from work to pay attention to their kids. I don't want this and many of the people in their 20s don't either. I think there needs to be some balance between work and your personal life. I'm hoping my generation will make companies realize this.
