[QUOTE="donna723, post: 444143, member: 1883"] I think the trend to hire the younger, inexperienced ones right out of school might be starting to backfire on them! If employers were hiring the younger ones in hopes that they'd get more "mileage" out of them, it doesn't work that way any more. The attitude about work among those of my generation is very, very different from the way many of the younger ones see it today. Before I retired last summer I had worked full time for 43 years in just two jobs, one for 19 years, the second for 24 years. Job security was highly valued and people were willing to start at the bottom with a company and work their way up to higher paying, more responsible jobs within the company. And if you were applying for a job, it looked really bad to potential employers if you had changed jobs frequently in the past. Young people just don't think this way now. Some of them change jobs the way other people change their socks! Six or seven jobs in ten years is not unusual. They hop from job to job like stepping stones because this is the generation who wants everything and they want it [U]right now[/U]! And maybe companies are finding out that it's costing them a bundle to hire and train young people who will just be moving on in six months or a year. [/QUOTE]
