A lot of these “difference between generation” articles seem to ignore that people in different age groups have different priorities. Older people tend to have a family to think about and are established in their career, so they’re less likely to need a career to tell them what they’re values are.
That said, I personally find it depressing to let a job tell you who you are and what you should care about. Everyone ought to go through the self-discovery of figuring that out for themselves
