Fortune And Family

Q: Do you consider yourself lucky?
A: Completely! I live in America, have talents, and am healthy, to name three out of ten thousand ways. Specifically for one, my career was aided by passing a couple of exams that seemed utterly unlikely.

Q: What is the biggest difference between your parents' generation and yours?
A: As a Gen Xer, my parents were born just before the Baby Boom. I think work is a stronger component of that generation's identity than the work/life balance orientation of mine.

Q: What is the biggest difference between your generation and the one coming up behind you?
A: Accessibility to technology. I had Atari and Commodore 64. The next generation can do more with computers by age 3 than I could in eighth grade.
