One statistic Buckingham uses to support his point is that 60% of Millennial employees recognize that their current positions are merely stepping stones. We can't all become doctors, teachers or lawyers in a few days, we have to go through school, jobs and internships to get there. as for me, I hope to become a dentist in the future, but for now I'm looking for a job as a receptionist in a dental office to become familiar with the environment, so when the time comes I know what awaits me. I also agree with the author's statement that millennials have qualities that can be "extremely useful in the workplace." Because Generation Y is so familiar with technology, it is easier for companies to become more technology-friendly. I noticed that a lot of things in school changed as I grew up. Schools are more dependent on technology than ever. At my high school we were given school issued devices, where we had to submit everything electronically. As I headed to Joliet Junior College, same thing, my math class is taught in a computer lab where we do homework online. There are companies like Apple and Google that have already been more successful in hiring millennials who are familiar with their different software. These companies don't target millennial employees, but their staff is the majority
