As Gen Y enters the professional world, we bring a whole new set of rules. We’re often criticized for our restless job-jumping or our sense of entitlement. The truth is, we might play the game differently, but that doesn’t mean we’re not every bit as bright, innovative, and hardworking. Here’s why.

We crave personal development

We’re a generation that spends our days on the internet. Unlike time spent front of the television, much of our spent online makes us learn valuable information and engage in meaningful conversation. As a result, we’re always learning more about our specific interests and picking up new skills. If we aren’t being challenged, if we’re not constantly learning from the projects we take on, if we’re not allowed to test new waters — you can bet we’ll seek out new jobs.
