This is the first “Links I Love” I am reading and I have to say I’m so hooked I plan to go through most of the past few months since I have all this time on my hands as I apply for jobs. I really enjoyed the Millennials Matter, But Gen C is the Holy Grail.
Great links!
Thank you so much, Tracy! I am doing a lot of research for work right now on millennials and intergenerational workforce differences, so I’ll definitely be sharing more along those lines.
That article about the a330 flying for 25 min w/out any engines is FACINATING. My ex-brother in law is a pilot and has always said that he hates helicopters b/c if something goes wrong, you’re falling out of the sky like a rock. “give me the physics of a plane’s wing any day over that nonsense!”
That is a great point! Remind me to never go on a helicopter.
