generation c
Lalarene, a young graduate in Los Angeles, meditates on The Sex & Cash Theory:
My job is confusing.…I’m definitely not getting the Cash but not all of the good feeling Sex either (probably because I know I should be getting the cash — almost like having sex without an orgasm…you know it’s supposed to happen but sometimes it just doesn’t). I want both in one package (don’t we all) so I’m carefully massaging my circumstances to give me that. It takes time. In college we called it “paying our dues.” It sucks. But I recently ran into Tiffany at the Spider Room who also graduated with a degree in Political Science (though one year before me) and now she’s a Financial Analyst. She hates her job but it pays her the big bucks (Cash) so she stays.
I don’t like that compromise. Even the creative outlet that I seek should be Sex & Cash together. Isn’t that what our generation is all about? Creative Content…Generation C. So let’s work towards Sex & Cash together forever.
“Generation C”. As in “Content”. Ha! I love it!
Any young person entering the job market knows full well that we’re quickly entering into what is commonly called “The Creative Age”. It’s old buggers like me who are having trouble seeing it. If you are having trouble, you should go read this book ASAP.
