The overwhelming number of career choices available to younger professionals makes mentorship that much more important.
There’s a popular notion that your twenties are “the time of your life.” But young adulthood is also often rife with a debilitating uncertainty that leaves younger generations feeling frustrated and lost, particularly when it comes to paving their career paths; feelings that are only heightened by the implication that one needs to choose a single profession. This doubt is in part why younger employees tend to switch jobs more frequently than older employees. And, in an age where the number of career options is growing, the prospect of navigating the early years of your career alone is arguably more daunting than ever before.
