HELP WANTED

As a fellow member of the Class of ‘92, I was dismayed by the lack of commitment to pressing social issues expressed by the seven college graduates. When asked about such problems as drugs, crime and homelessness, one responded that “the older generation keeps voting for things that are for them and not thinking about future generations.” It seems that this generational myopia was inherited, as the seven spoke principally about their own material ambitions.

This period of economic uncertainty is an opportunity for us “post-baby-boomers” to question what we really value. Have we learned anything from the young urban professionals of the ‘80s?
