It used to be just about a paycheck. Now, it’s about meaningful work.
Students entering the workforce today prioritize job fulfillment over the fullness of their bank account.
For some, this means having one-too-many roommates so they can accept a lower paying job that allows them to build products that make a difference L. Others forgo a short commute to the office so that they can work with families in need. And many recent graduates choose to spend their days dedicated to changing education around the world.
