Nearly one in five college graduates want to work in federal, state or local government or for a nonprofit organization, according to a new survey, and theyre willing to take less salary for meaningful, fun work.

It is lots of money and benefits with no accountability and a lifetime pension. Yeah Socialism!
What is the difference between the USA and Venezuela?
Ten years.
They all want to be Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.
meaningful work is 98% NOT found in government buildings, sorry about that boys
try the real world (if Obama accidententally leave any jobs still alive there)
Just saying.... I have a young relative who is working for a state gov. He is three years out of a Harvard of the South type college. He bought a Chevy Volt and part of the reason is he can plug in for free while at work. He is right of center.
Wait until they have kids.
Any corporation MIGHT fail so said employees had BETTER put their savings into their own account and not plan on relying on anyone but themselves.
Government work is more predictable, at least in states that aren't in trouble. I know that I worked for the BENEFITS, especially the health benefits, and retirement. Salaries come and go but bennies are the bonus.
Can’t fault them for it.
By the time these beheadable millenials are ready to retire at their age of 50, the State of California will be long dead and gone.
They want to work for Government....but they want “meaningful, fun work...”
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Probably won’t get the pension either.
The author has the most overused and fundamentally flawed reasoning I have ever read. Dumbass
The government would do well to release forty percent of its workers and pare down.
The teachers went on incessantly, beating the kids up without mercy for about an hour, a demeaning spectacle for them to endure on such a day, and in such a place.
Obviously of the leftist political persuasion, the teachers deviated from their diatribe only to exhort the kids to public service, while demeaning private sector employment by equating it to "greed". My daughter is going to study business, and took offense to this, which made me proud. She believes that those who are successful in business cannot be so without "helping" others. Good point that.
For years, parents have been the ones that education chose to blame for the failures of our public education system, now it seems the blame is going to cell phones and social media, at least, that's what I understood from the interminable beat-down of this poor senior class, who had to endure it in silence.
I too, have bristled at kids burying themselves in their phones, but since the left seems to hate this so much, I'm reevaluating........
The teachers who berated those students were right about this. I have noticed that most of the younger workers in my company seem to work in a state of constant distraction with all the stupid electronic devices they use — and it really shows in the poor quality of their work.
I'm in the process of leaving the corporate world and setting up my own shop. One of the things that turns me off about the corporate environment is that it functions just like a government bureaucracy.
You are probably correct here, my feeling sitting there was that a baccalaureate was not the place for this. The education establishment had had 18 years with these kids, captive in their classrooms, these particular two having had at least four with this class, to teach, preach, and mold behavior. A graduation is an achievement. A milestone. Class should have been over. My daughter and her (conservative) friends who do not walk into poles while viewing cell phones admittedly are in the minority.
Just a modicum of praise for their achievement, perhaps just a little good finding from the podium may have placated me. I felt it was an acknowledgement by the teachers that they had failed, and this was just one last chance to grandstand for the parents, with the message “well, we tried”. Seemed more like an advertisement for the school faculty, at the expense of students, not all of whom needed this particular sermon.
I didn’t mention it, but the audience was decidedly ethnically mixed, and the day also included a poem from a black student, message about the suffering of blacks “still” (the name of the poem) having not gone away. The only message of the day that wasn’t on topic.
