Time stands still for no one and that includes Millennials. As the generation we love to hate (because they love telling us about everything we did wrong) starts to approach middle age, a new generation we can blame for all the world’s evils is busy graduating college and readying itself for the work place. Let’s get ready to welcome Generation Z. But stereotypes aside, just who is Generation Z and what will they be like? We know they’ll be one of the biggest generations ever, even bigger than the Baby Boomers in the US; they’re concerned about the job market; and they’re even more comfortable with social media than Millennials. So we bring in Stephanie Bridget, an intern with one of Gulf News’ sister publications, Friday Magazine, to give us a little insight into this generation’s mindset. Stephanie talks about her generation’s expectations and concerns, some of which may surprise you. Then again, maybe they won’t.
