MIA

Whew, it has obviously been a while since I visited my own blog. I have been just about 100% focused on one thing: freelancing. Once people find out you do graphic design for a living, inevitably a job offer comes along. Par for Generation Y, who grew up with the internet. I just read that of the last 4 generations, the Y Generation (1979 - 1994) has seen the most economic boom, has had available to them the most material possessions, and therefore is the least likely to have a sustained attention span.

Where was I?

Oh yes, I read this sociological commentary in the context of volunteer recruitment and retainment. We're bright young whippersnappers, but if we don't get the immediate gratification that we're used to, then we move on. I'm paraphrasing somewhat, but this struck me as very interesting. I thought that I just had a million interests and a frustrating lack of follow through. But maybe I am not alone?
