Have you noticed all the attention being given to the Millennial generation lately?
If you haven’t…you will, and there’s a good reason for that:
Otherwise known as “Echo Boomers”, Millennials may be just about to take over the country,
if not the world. By the year 2020 its estimated they will compose over 50% of the workforce.
I, for one, am just a scoche disappointed that I can’t be considered a true “Millennial” because of my age. This means I have to settle for being of the “Millennial Mindset”…which I’ll just have to embrace.
Being of this mindset means I’m basically doing everything that someone classified in the Millennial generation does: having a focus on community, leaning more left than right, and most of all using technology as much as possible to my advantage. And its not that I’m trying as hard as possible to be a part of the movement, its just how I live my life currently. My age says I’m a member of Generation X, but my heart and mind are with The Group Formerly Known As Generation Y.
