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.”(GenGuru的联合创始人Jonah Stillman表示,这些“非常传统的行业”确实拥有声望,GenGuru是一家专注于职场中不同年 ... ...
