The younger ones are hopefully still in school and planning on careers and jobs that will have strong demand and generate new opportunities. According to Jean Twenge PhD. Jean Twenge's writings on generations differs from others. She uses historical surveys and 1 on 1 interviews, rather than just theorizing and speculating. She is a serious researcher, and a professor at San Diego University. Whereas Millenials were raised to think they were special and that they could become anything they dreamed of, and then after graduating they found that Boomers had let millions of jobs slip out of the country, iGen'ers have seen this, and are far more cautious and less optimistic and maybe less naive.
Our free personality test will help you understand what careers are a better match for you. It will also show you how to understand people better. If you are iGen and looking for a career, please pick a major in fields where there will be plenty of jobs and avoid fields where the jobs are limited. You have two choices - pick a trade or get the right college education.
Low skilled jobs will continue to disappear and you can not raise a family on the income from a low skilled job. You either need skills or education. If you want help choosing a new career, or making those big career decisions, check out my career counseling services.
Electrical Engineering and Software Engineering look really good. As does nursing, and being a family doctor. Civil Engineering offers very few jobs since we are not building a lot of bridges and buildings. So avoid that. Jobs that must be done in person such as plumbers, electricians, barbers, beauticians, should still be in demand, although lower paying than jobs requiring a college education.
The trades are more stable than many other careers. Sales jobs will continue to shrink. Retails sales jobs are disappearing as shopping malls close and as Amazon takes over the world. Sales people are usually just middlemen.
Who needs them? However, sales people that do business development and find new customers are a different story. But the days of being a shoe salesman in a mall store are gone. The auto mechanic field is going to go through interesting changes with the growth of electric vehicles and self driving vehicles. EV's have less moving parts and fewer fluids to replace, but they still need tire changes.
Taxi driver jobs and truck driver jobs will start to experience less demand as automated vehicles take over. However, as of , the demand for truck drivers is booming. As automated electric vehicles take over, the need for individuals to own a car will be reduced.
It will become more simple, less expensive, and more efficient to just walk outside, call up an app, have a driver-less Uber pick you up and take you to wherever you want to go. As long as a car can show up in 5 minutes or so, that will be the way to go. Born: Coming of Age: Age in 59 to 76 Current Population: 41 million declining. This generation had significant opportunities in jobs and education as the War ended and a post-war economic boom struck America.
However, the growth in Cold War tensions, the potential for nuclear war and other never before seen threats led to levels of discomfort and uncertainty throughout the generation. Members of this group value security, comfort, and familiar, known activities and environments.
For a long time the Baby Boomers were defined as those born between and That would make the generation huge 71 million and encompass people who were 20 years apart in age. Life experiences were completely different. Attitudes, behaviors and society were vastly different.
In effect, all the elements that help to define a cohort were violated by the broad span of years originally included in the concept of the Baby Boomers. Boomers I were in or protested the War. Boomers 2 or the Jones Generation missed the whole thing. Boomers I had good economic opportunities and were largely optimistic about the potential for America and their own lives, the Vietnam War notwithstanding. This first post-Watergate generation lost much of its trust in government and optimistic views the Boomers I maintained.
The youngest members of the Boomer II generation in fact did not have the benefits of the Boomer I class as many of the best jobs, opportunities, housing etc. Gen A: Generation Alpha starts with children born in 2 and will c ontinue at least through , maybe later approximately 48 million people in the U.
Originally, the name Generation Z was a placeholder for the youngest people on the planet — although Generation A has now taken over that distinction. However, in the same way that Gen Y morphed into Millennials, there is certainly a possibility that both Gen Z and Gen A may adopt new names as they leave adolescence and mature into their adult identities.
While the label Gen A makes discussion easier, it may not be the last word on this group of humans. It started with Generation X, people born between The preceding generation was the Baby Boomers, born Depending on whom you ask, it was either sociologists, a novelist, or Billy Idol who cemented this phrase in our vocabulary.
From there on it was all down-alphabet. The generation following Gen X naturally became Gen Y, born give or take a few years on either end. The pair coined the term in when the impending turn of the millennium began to feature heavily in the cultural consciousness. Generation Z refers to babies born from the late 90s through today. While some say Generation Alpha is named for the first letter of the Greek alphabet and denotes the first of a series of items or categories, Generation Alpha may also just be an easy way to round the corner into a new alphabet.
While all Millennials were born around the turn of the century, some of them are still in early adulthood, wrestling with new careers and settling down, while the older Millennials have a home and are building a family. You can imagine how having a child might change your interests and priorities, so for marketing purposes, it's useful to split this generation into Gen Y. The younger group is just now flexing their buying power. The latter group has a more extensive history and may be refinancing their mortgage and raising children.
The contrast in priorities and needs is stark. The same logic can be applied to any generation that is in this stage of life or younger. As we get older, we tend to homogenize and face similar life issues. The younger we are, the more dramatic each stage of life is. Consider the difference between someone in elementary school and high school.
While they might be the same generation, they have very different views and needs. Marketing to young generations as a single cohort will not be nearly as effective as segmenting your strategy and messaging. Each generation label serves as a shorthand to reference nearly 20 years of attitude, motivations, and historical events. Few individuals self-identify as Gen X, Millennial, or any other name. Ten years from now, the priorities of Millennials will have changed — and marketing tactics must adjust instep.
Remember, these arbitrary generational cutoff points are just that. Whatever terminology or grouping you use, the goal is to reach people with marketing messages relevant to their phase of life. In short, no matter how many letters get added to the alphabet soup, the most important thing you can do is seek to understand the soup du jour for the type of consumer you want to attract.
Before we dive into each generation, remember that the exact years born are in dispute, because there are no comparably definitive thresholds by which the later generations after Boomers are defined. But this should give you a general range to help identify what generation you belong in. The other fact to remember is that new technology is typically first adopted by the youngest generation and then is gradually adopted by the older generations.
This generation has begun to adopt more technology in order to stay in touch with family members and reconnect with old friends. While this might seem counterintuitive, it can be explained by the fact that this generation has the most wealth and is looking to help their children with their student debt.
They have a belief that you should take care of your children enough to set them on the right course and don't plan on leaving any inheritance. With more Americans outliving their retirement fund, declining pensions, and social security in jeopardy, ensuring you can successfully fund retirement is a major concern for Boomers.
