Jun. 11 Millennials: I was reading a Job Boom newsletter
emailed to me and the article was "Millennials+ managers= meltdown."
It's about the baby boomers and millennials are different and they work
differently. It said: "75% (of millennials) apply for other jobs
within their first year on the job - ASTD".
Me: Stay at
your job. Don't job hop. You only quit if you really hate it or there
is a really good opportunity. If you like your current job and it pays
well, stay. http://career.jobboom.com/headlines-torontosun/2013/05/08/20806471.htmlInternet: The
other article "The Internet needs freedom not regulation." It was
about the internet industry and businesses and not how regular people
surf the net. http://vancouver.24hrs.ca/2013/05/10/the-internet-needs-freedom-not-regulation
Living in a van: I found this on Yahoo: "Duke Grad
Student Secretly lived in a Van to Escape Loan Debt" by Mandi
Woodruff. It's about Ken Ilgunas who had $32,000 debt in college.
After he graduated studying History and English, he went to Alaska to
work for $9 like cooking. He had room and board provided, no stores
close by, no cell phone, so all of his money went to his debt. He was
able to pay off like $18,000 in one yr. Yeah, that sounds about right
when you make $9/ hr full-time.
Afterwards, he went to Duke University to go to grad school. He
lived in his van with all his stuff there. He had to hide it because
Duke doesn't let people live in vans on their lots. This had lots of
pictures of how he ate, cooked, slept, got water from water fountain,
studied in the library and recharged his cell phone there.
Me: Good for him. I think we should all live cheaply like he
does. Not to the extent of in a van, but get rid of stuff you don't
really need. Spend on what you need.
