[quote=Anonymous][quote]I don’t understand why this generation expects work to be meaningful or fulfilling. Work is a way to make money for all but the wealthy. So why the navel-gazing and entitlement?[/quote] Perhaps mentoring is not for you. These students are making it clear that they think work can be meaningful and fulfilling, and you're missing their cues to guide them towards professions and jobs that might fulfill that. My parents worked public service jobs that they found meaningful and fulfilling, and so do I. Work makes me money but it also helps me feel like my existence makes a difference (for the people I work with). It's certainly not entitlement, as I am working-class. But it works for me and many other people.[/quote]
