I'm working hard to set some investments in motion so that by the time I reach 40 (ten years from now), I am sitting on a beach with my wife and kids and doing minimal work (blogging and writing a book or two at my own pace). The most ridiculously amazing part of my (and your) industry is that we can work from the virtual office. People like Andy Hagans can become nationally renowned for SEO and web marketing while they're sippin' margaritas in the Caribbean. While I do not know what the future holds, I am excited by the dream of rest and relaxation. I am a Renaissance man at heart, stifled by the cares of the world. It is the return to the arts and literature and the sound of the ocean which motivate and time with my children that motivates me to do now so I can rest later.

While this is good information, it appears to be a lot of what Claire Raines published in 2002 in her article, Managing Millennials. www.generationsatwork.com/articles/millenials.htm All Boomer CPAs who are partners in firms need to be more aware of these points. Many in local and regional firms have misconceptions about the Millennials. Thanks for featuring this topic. I am a new reader of your Blog.

It is obvious that Spanish market is far away from American, but I think that the generational issue is happening here also. The main problem is that companies are not aware of this (I think that neither Deloitte Spanish branch is). Anyway we can take American market as a reference, so I hope we can see those changes in company management not so far away. Congrats for this blog, thanks for this information and sorry about my English! PS: I am going to review this in my blog. With a little luck any Spanish company will read about it... Hi,
