Think Tank > What does the millennials' ideal career look like?
The idea career path for me, would be something that either is in the field of making the world a better place, where I can make ends meet simply by pursing my ethical interests-- or a job with high enough pay, and flexible enough hours that allows me to make ends meet and do all the things that change the world for the better, but sadly pay nothing.

Above all, my ideal career allows me to make media that challenges the status quo and promotes sustainable living. A great day for me is one that allows for exploration and creativity at every turn. With that said, I have to admit that time and following my ideals has certainly been valued over money although I certainly see the value in being properly compensated for your expertise. I've been happy to discover that my work has been able to blend what I love doing and what people want to pay me for.

A lot of the ongoing discourse regarding millennials has a focus on the workplace, which got us wondering: what does the ideal job and/or career look like?
Are you looking for a large salary or income, opportunities to take risks, or job security? Is time with family and friends more important to you than being intellectually challenged, or is having those two opportunities of equal importance to you? Do you need to be helping others? Do you think about health benefits? Are you looking for opportunities to advance?
When you envision the ideal job and/or career, what, exactly, do you imagine?
