Millennial Workers Do Not Understand the Value of a Dollar

"For Manish Vora, then 26, a salary package around $500,000 wasn't enough," Portfolio reports in an article about Millennial Generation. They're the "80 million or so workers born after 1980 who researchers say tend to place job satisfaction and lifestyle concerns ahead of their desire to simply move up the corporate ladder." Clearly, Mr. Vora has not once spent one iota of life broke off his ass, or he wouldn't be talking crazy about giving up a fat paycheck to start a dot-com. But that's what all the hedge-funders and finance types are doing lately, in their search for "meaning" in their jobs. What kinds of meaningful, low-paying work are these kids engaging in?

CONFONZ — Would you believe that M.C. Hammer is still alive? When not dancing his heart out at his Oakland church, Hammer spends his days using a Mac and jumping out of airplanes with nothing but his famous pants to save him. Further more, the man now has a startup. It's called DanceJam, and you're not cool enough to see it yet. Rumors on the IntarWeb state that the site will be a YouTube clone focused on videos of people dancing. But wait! There's a value add! If you upload your dance video, Hammer will watch it and rate your moves. Look for this site to be a goldmine for embarrassing blackmail footage when it launches later this year.
