Between being in college or graduating from college during the Great Recession to dealing with student loan debt, millennials know a thing or two about needing money. This has led to a lot of them seeking stable career paths, ensuring they always have money coming in.
But one thing millennials do reject is the profit-first mindset. Instead, they’re more people-first and want jobs that align with their values. According to GOBankingRates, it’s because of all of this, there are some jobs that millennials aren’t looking to work for, and here are seven of them.
- Factory worker. It’ll bore them to tears thanks to the lack of creative outlets and stimulation.
- Cashier or retail clerk. This definitely doesn’t pay enough money for millennials, who say the lowest annual salary that would make them happy is $60K.
- Coal miner. Millennials are socially conscious and committed to sustainability. They’re looking to reduce their impact on the environment, not add to it.
- Door-to-door sales representative. The salary fluctuates too much month-to-month, which is a huge turn off.
- Trade worker. Millennials tend to rather work with their brains than with their hands.
- Full-time taxi driver. This requires countless hours driving, whereas younger generations are looking for a better work-life balance.
- Travel agent or data entry clerk. They know that these jobs are on the brink of becoming obsolete, thanks to modern technology.
