This article has lots of generalizations but no data from surveys or other research to back it up.


I have to agree, while some of it is interesting, much of it has fortune-cookie like application.


Replace "Gen Xers" with "Humans" and "Work" with "Enterprises" and you've got something.

Start your own business.


I think a lot of people here are actually Gen Y.


It would be neat to see some demographics to verify that.


Who needs demographics when you've got fluffy stats like the article uses? Just spout of vague generalized assumptions about the feelings and supposed actions of multiple demographic groups. Stop when you've reach your 1000 word retainer.


I'm so glad this was posted on YC. Thank you! I'm glad this place is featuring the exact same links as reddit, digg, slashdot, etc. Woohoo copycats!
