I just read a great post on the Brazen Careerist (www.brazencareerist.com/).  It was entitled “All I care about is Money Disease”.  It talks about gen Y being motivated by money.  I come across this topic all the time in my coaching practice.  Many young professionals claim to be motivated by money.  That’s because many young professionals don’t have any.

Fast foward three years and ask yourself: what gets me out of bed in the morning?  Is it to make the next sale? Is it because I see green?  Or is it challenging and rewarding work?  You really need to think about this because you will always get used to a big paycheck but you will never get used to a job you don’t like.
