Reality check: Young people work hard, but the game is harder

“Young people don’t work hard anymore.” cit. Boomer while googling “how to rotate a PDF”. Reality check, 2025 (#Swiss edition): 🎓 University graduates → 11 % (1985) ➜ 45 % today 🌍 Competitors? Every keyboard on the planet. 🤖 AI‑powered giants vacuum up entire markets overnight. 📜 #Regulations tag you before you even incorporate. 💰 VCs burn billions, then expect traction by next Tuesday. We’re not lazy. We’re sprinting a marathon with drones, global bids and ChatGPT whispering at 3 a.m. The game got harder, faster, borderless. I respect the hustle of the ’80s #fax era. But let’s admit it: starting from scratch in 2025 is a whole new sport. So, back to work... keyboard hot, caffeine stronger than Swiss franc. Because the future won’t PDF itself 😉

Yes, the challenges got bigger ... but the tools (and the coffee!) got much better as well ;)

I just see a different approach of young professionals which I don’t judge bad or good. I see it as a learning opportunity. Times are changing and we need to adapt to this!
