In one of our major classes, the professor talked about a phenomenon regarding organizational citizenship, or the lack of it in the working world in today’s generation of the workforce. Yuppies these days stay with a company for merely a few months to 3 years. I think 3 years would be stretching it these days. There was once a generation that stayed with organizations for decades… What does this say of companies these days? What does this say of the workforce of this generation?
Ever since money went scarce, I wanted a job with steady pay and benefits. A career or a job used to be something that I liked to do. Today, it’s what would give me enough financial stability to support myself and my mom. Hopefully, the two “job/career” perceptions would merge… These will if I get a job in public relations. Maybe in Shell or Unilab or Proctor & Gamble or Uniliver. As I said, highest bidder hahaha. It’s a dream… I still have to prove that I’m good enough. Scary thing about after graduation is that they arm you with theoretical knowledge but you really don’t know if you’re good enough for those top companies till you try out, get accepted or denied.
Well, if that doesn’t work out, maybe I’ll go for human resources… Maybe video/print production… If I’m lucky, I’ll probably try broadcasting or entertainment, but that’s a long shot.
In the end, it’s really the big bucks…
