my generation's name, Millennials

 http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/worklife/06/04/balance.burnout/
a great article my friend and graphic designer Ashley  posted on facebook,

"Millennials aren't afraid of working hard, she says. "They just want to have freedom to do other things."
However, compared with previous generations, many millennials are "backlashing against the idea that your work is your life," says Alexandra Robbins, author of "The Overachievers: The Secret Lives of Driven Kids." They're "intent on finding jobs that are meaningful both personally and to the community and the environment." -  an excerpt from the article

Its good that I'm not the only one who feels this way.  Hopefully this means that my generation will be the one to fix the problems caused by past generations who simply just worked for a paycheck and put little care into thinking about if what they were doing was creating more good than harm.
