Last Sunday, while I was waiting for my laundry, I read an article from a magazine I randomly picked up.
The article was talking about how the new, young, working generation is proving itself to be a lazy generation. The article discussed several points that could be the cause of this laziness.
Two of the main points explained the fact that the new generation knows only the 35 hour work week and working overtime is not an option for them. It also explained how there is a general lack of motivation! (For those who don't live in France, in a matter of couple of years France's full-time working hours decreased from 40 to 37 and now recently down to 35 hours per week).
I am sure an enterprise prefers hiring someone that has fast learning skills and motivation over someone that has a bad ass degree, zero motivation and just counts on what he or she has learned before. You always have to keep on learning, you have to move up, I don't think being stable is an option anymore.
I'd definitely say motivation is easier to get then a degree!
Why do people seem to forget that?
