An Argument FOR Generation Y

    I need your help.

    Yes, like everyone else in this forum I need your help. On what exactly? I am writing a short publication on the dreams of our “Generation Y” and the problems we encounter in pursuing those dreams. To give you some idea of what you can offer, the article is touching on social media, service, entrepreneurship, education, etc. So basically — anything.

    I really want to bring out the ambition on our generation and use the article as a counterargument to all of those people who criticize us for being lazy or exceptionally un-ambitious. You can post your comments here or, if you do not feel comfortable doing that, you can e-mail them to me at [email redacted].

    Even if you do not want your words published, I would love hearing your story. I will not cite you unless you give me explicit permission, and I will keep your identity private unless you give me explicit permission.

    Thank you.

    The blog I need help with is thepostic.wordpress.com.

    Apparently I fit into Generation Y..

    When you say dreams, do you mean our individual dreams? For me, my dream is to be wherever my partner is and I wouldn't have to work under the fist of a boss.

    @dribblingpensioner - thanks for the link! Great post.

    @menageriecat - By dreams I mean the things that you hope to achieve in life, but also the things you hope to see achieved (perhaps by others).

    @dovesgold - thank you!

    What IS generation Y when it's up, dressed and ready to go?

    Apparently I'm generation Y. Huh. Who knew? I guess I skipped that whole idealistic-naive-about-the-real-world-phase that seems to characterize my generation.

    @Harry OK. Spill it. What are these other two sites of yours and why don't I know about them? I'm deeply hurt. :-(

    Well, lets see, my forum has been going for about a year, there's a link in blogs i like.

    My new blog has been going for about three months, no-one who owned it until now :) Pete has been and Jessie is a regular visitor.

    But at the header i put a page called " my other sites " but no-one spotted it :)

    Nothing more to spill, now i'm going to bed.
