Okay so heres the scenario. You've got
a bunch of super smart guys, whoz got
their fingers on the nerve called,cash - flow,
and know their worth.
An increasing %age of this generation, have
shunned traditional lifestyle called corporate
life. They've decided that the same lifestyle, 9-5,
suits and ties+deadlines ain't what they grew up for.
Hence you get entrepreneurs starting at the age of
19-20, or else self-styled businessmen, doing
part time while still in college.
Read this exert from usaToday :-
"Employers aren't offering what they want, so the young say
they'll be their own boss and start their own business."
Bureau of Labor Statistics data for 2005 show that some,
370,000 young people ages 16-24 were self-employed,
the occupational category that includes entrepreneurs.
In 1975, when baby boomers were young, some 351,000 were in that category.
While that growth over 30 years isn't striking, indicators suggest,
more change ahead. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects,
the self-employed category will grow 5% from 2004 to 2014,
compared with 2% growth for the decade that began in 1994.

An article on how to deal with this new generation ?
The baby boomers’ kids are called the echo generation. These kids grew up with the Internet, bits and bytes. They’re not afraid of technology. In fact, they embrace it. More so than their parents. Where the child passes the parent in adoption and use of technology is known as the ‘generation lap’. However, there is one important point - they do not see the Internet as technology anymore than a car, radio or refrigerator.
They have become an authority on the Internet, the single biggest innovation in our society. This net-generation is curious, intelligent, focused, willing to adapt to change, self reliant and confident. They have been told that it will be hard to find jobs. This group could well be the largest generation of entrepreneurs. Because they are net-intelligent, they love to collaborate, work together and share information. After all, what good is knowledge and information if it cannot be shared?
