Can I Be Honest?
I’m burnt out on this thesis topic. Know why? It’s downright depressing.
On the one hand, I’ve got way too many articles that are just down and out on Gen Y. Every one I read and cite chips away at the precarious bubble of self-esteem I’m clinging to despite a bad economy, despite a precarious future [...]

I’m Just a Little Concerned
In my pursuit of epic thesis fame and glory, I’ve spent the last year or so immersing myself in the world of Generation Y. Developing a hearty body of useful advice to Gen Yers entering the workforce has been my goal ever since embarking on my quest aboard the Good Ship Thesis.
