I'm sure those boomers don't speak for all of them, however, that's just my anecdotal experience.

I actually think that with the Baby Boomers retiring over the next few years it will provide an amazing opportunity for collaborative work between the generations. While I completely agree with you that Millennials (in general) have much better access to market trends, I think that they can sometimes get a little ahead of themselves. This is why a Gen Xer working with other Gen Ys to impart their wisdom and experience can create a dynamite team. As a more seasoned professional, Gen Xers have the ability to temper and direct the ambitions of the younger generation, and so I think we are definitely entering a very interesting time.

"We like to have the freedom to work at home, often alone by default, and are not traditionally joiners." I'm on the cusp (born in 1977), but that sentence describes me much better than "more in tune with quickly shifting trends and have larger trusted networks." I guess I'm a genuine Gen Xer, after all. Anyway, interesting article. Found it via Jeff Pulver's blog rather than through my RSS feed. Guess I must've missed it there. ecc1977s last blog post..Hard-Core Half-Blood Prince Tease

nice job in explaining your position. Compliments your presentation well and explains Gen X nicely.
