prehensive Practice 4.1
Adolescence, the period between childhood and adulthood, seems to have stretched out, lasting up to 25 or beyond. Instead of adulthood arriving all at once we find it gradually emar刖日over a much longer period as members of this new breed of in-betweeners try to ont what to do with their lives. They are likely to want to try out various options, sampling a variety of different jobs. This often leaves their parents feeling some dnx 沁ty as they fear their children may be just drifting along： rather than settling in a stable job. As for taking on the responsibilities of parenthood themselves, young people typically £ut that aside until much later
in life than was the case in the past.
4.2
Working from the interviews with 300 young people aged 18 to 29 in cities around the nation over five years, Professor Arnett proposed a new life stage he calls "emerging adulthood.M He describes it as the time from the end of adolescence to the young-adult holding a stable job, getting married and taking the responsibilities of parenthood. He identified several features typical of emerging adulthood, such as identity explorations, instability, self-focus, feeling in-between, and a sense of possibilities. Arnett's research shows that emerging adults want a lot out of life — a job that is fascina【in& and personally fulfilling and a lasting relationship with a partner.

necessarily who you are.
RYAN HEALY, : People in Generation Y have been told that they can be whatever they want to be and they can do whatever they want to do since they were kids. The goal is to be happy, to find meaning. And they're figuring that out as they go.
QUEST: Life coach Christine Hassler is advising them on how to manage their money. She's an expert on Millennials. And Hassler says she's constantly surprised by their potential.
CHRISTINE HASSLER, MILLENNIAL COACH: The way they think and the way they communicate is completely different. They move at a much faster speed mentally than any other generation before. They are amazing learners. Millennials can go in and learn anything very, very quick. Their brain is very adaptable. Change doesn't scare them as much as other generations because they had to learn something new every day.
QUEST: So what makes them different? Millennials are the first generation to have always had the Internet which has transformed the way people network and socialize.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I can't live without my iPhone. I just — I feel naked if I don't have it on me. QUEST? This constant plugged-in life has its drawbacks for these Millennials.
HASSLER: They come in and they get this reputation of being entitled or being — multi-tasking too much or not knowing how to communicate with older members of the generation — or — with older generations, because they just rely on technology much more than a Gen Xer or a baby boomer would.
QUEST: At work, Millennials are increasingly coveted as employees. More and more businesses want to tap into their expertise and drive.
MARIAN SALZMAN, CEO, EURO RSC6 WORLDWIDE PR: They're the new marketplace, the/re the new brains. They come with
all the social media tools and tricks embedded in them as natives.
QUEST: Still, these are challenging times. According to a recent United Nations report, some 75
million youths globally now find themselves without work. The numbers speak for themselves. It is
extraordinary the optimism that Millennials can bring to the most challenging of situations.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: A lot of the jobs that our parents' generation, you know, worked won't exist anymore, but
it*s also exciting, because it means we get to invent new careers.
QUEST:True Millennials are not revolutionaries. They don't want to tear down the system. Oh, no, this generation just wants to run it.
