Article Abstract:
A recent survey of young people entering the employment market found that they have clear ideas about the quality of life they expect to have. They want a career with prospects and a competitive salary but they are not prepared to devote all their energies to their career at the expense of having a life outside work. Only 16% of people surveyed wanted a managerial position because of the stress and long hours involved. Olders colleagues often resent these younger people who expect so much from life.
