[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked for USAID and DH also has low pay, for-the-public-good job with volatility thrown in for kicks. We both have always felt passionate about our work - they were vocations, not just jobs. Our kid is a business major and says he wants a job that will make him good money and that he likes what he does every day well enough. That’s it. I don’t think he’ll do anything slimy, but I think he sees work as just…work. It’s what you do to pay the bills. He doesn’t seem to need a calling or a purpose in it. I was so different at his age. Idealistic, driven to change the world. Which I never did, of course. I think this next generation is more cynical, or maybe just realistic.[/quote] They see that there’s genuinely no point to trying to save the world, because it takes one republican to tear down everything you’ve built. Instead make money and be selfish. It makes your life 10x better. At this rate, trying to improve society is a fool’s errand.[/quote]
