Which generation is more likely to value money and flexibility as career goals?

  1. Generation X

  2. Boomers

  3. Millennials

  4. Traditionalists

The correct answer is: Boomers

Boomers are individuals born between the mid-1940s and the early 1960s. This generation grew up during a time of economic expansion and strong job security, leading them to highly value money and financial stability. They also value flexibility in their careers as they often juggle multiple responsibilities, such as caring for their families and aging parents. Option A, Generation X, is incorrect because although they also prioritize financial stability, they tend to value work-life balance more. Option C, Millennials, place a strong emphasis on job satisfaction and making a positive impact, rather than solely focusing on financial success. Option D, Traditionalists, is incorrect because they grew up during a time of economic struggle and prioritize loyalty and stability over money.
