D Even before Molly Johnson-Jones graduated from Oxford University in 2015,she felt professional pressure to land a“prestigious(享有声望的)”job in a high-powered industry.She says she and her university friends felt there were professions that carried prestige-particularly the fields of finance,medicine and law.That's why Johnson-Jones ended up in investment banking for two years once she graduated,even though it didn't feel like quite the right fit. These kinds of "very traditional industries"have indeed carried prestige,says Jonah Stillman,co-founder of GenGuru,a firm that focuses on different generations in the workplace. As Gen Z joins the workforce,however,experts and younger workers say what's considered a "prestigious"job may be expanding.Some younger workers do still report making money is prestigious,especially as cost of living shoots up,and working for certain firms or in specific industries can make a career.But many also place equal stress on other elements,such as values of the company,flexibility,and freedom from long,intense work hours. And some data indicates that Gen Z are indeed turning to more meaningful work.April 2023 data from LinkedIn of more than 7,000 global workers shows 64%of Gen Zers in the UK, Germany and Ireland now consider it important to work for companies that share their values. The data also shows these young workers highlight work-life balance and career growth as top draws for potential workplaces. 高-一英语 第6页共11页
