The chance in the future

A generation without any pattern. Not the pathetic Generation X which lived without any goals in their lives. Except the goal of living itself. And we are not like all these young professionals. These Yuppies whose biggest advantage was to be born to the right time and date at the right place. Our generation, those who were born in the 80s and the early 90s, we have no special pattern. We're one big mess of wildly mixed people. Professionals who made their career already. Or rebellions who just wanna enjoy the time given to them on this beautiful earth. We're living in a wealthy world. No need to worry about money or food on the table. Our generation is like these huge patchwork carpets from the 90s.
One thing can be mentioned as a special "feature" of our generation. We will always be the ones who were too late. We started our education and focused on the IT branch. When we finished our exams, the job market was overcrowded with IT specialists and chances for us to get a job dropped in the single digits. We were a bunch of overtrained but not needed specialists. So we took the only exit out of this mess. Or at least we thought it would be the only exit. So now we are a bunch of studying overtrained specialists with a little spark of hope in ourselves. Hope, that we are needed after the 3 to 5 years of studying and that all the effort wasn't senseless at all.

But hey, the world and its destitny is now practically forcing us to finda a new watchword for our generation. Or at least gives us the perfect opportunity for it. The economy is crashing. Now we've got to choose. Fall in a deep and long depression because everything gets more and more expensive and the number of unemployed people rockets through the clouds. Or we can stand up and try to ride the wave of the new economy after the big crisis of 2015. We could be the first Yuppies of the new millenium.

When you want the:

• Yuppies 2.0
• Yuppies the sequel: the Media Scientists
• YouPee reloaded

That last one would definitely be the name of our generation if we mess this up again.

We shouldn't be afraid of the future. All crisis have to end someday! Maybe we follow previous way of life and end up with the wrong timing again. Or we can try to catch up and write our own piece of generational history. And of course a self help book according to it:

"How to be successful with just the freaking luck on your side"

Peace out, corporate hombres
