Millennial Monday: Erin Bigler

7/17/2017

We Are The Optimistic Innovators 

So I find millennials to be the most promising and creative generation. We were taught that we could do anything, be anything, try anything, and this has helped us think outside the box. Baby boomer parents are one of the reasons we do so. I hope that as we move up in the world, that we will continue to think this way.

Do you consider yourself a millennial-
​why or why not? 
​What has been key in your development as a millennial?
​Yes, because of my age and fascination with efficiency and technology (minus the social media part).
​​Being a tech-savvy person. Also being born from the baby boomer generation.
Is your job the sole purpose or “calling” of your life? Put another way: what ignites and fuels you? Is it work or is it something bigger? Something deeper? Who do you serve at work, and why do you serve them?
I feel like you can get a job, just to pay for your hobbies, or your job can be your hobby/calling. For me, it is a little of both. I've always thought I would be a teacher, and I love a challenge. So, with sales, I get to teach my clients about the changes in security or about our product. The sales part keeps me challenged (always striving to be #1).
What are your passions, hobbies, and/or aspirations? 
Music...I love singing and dancing (always). ​

What communities or groups have helped you feel like you belong?
Honestly, my work. I absolutely love the community that comes with my position. The company culture is great. Also, Take Lessons has been a fun way to continue to challenge myself musically.

The millennial generation has been labeled as entitled, tech-savvy, non-religious, and non-direct communicators who are financially irresponsible.
What do you think about these labels?

I believe these labels have some truth, otherwise why would they even exist? 

Many of us are spiritual, but not religious...and why? We've seen the hypocrisy in many churches.

Many of us might not be direct....but why? Directness might get you in trouble, so smooth your way around it.

Many of us might be financially irresponsible....but why? Because to get ahead, we needed to go to school, yet there's a discrepancy in the price of college versus what a person may get paid after finishing school. 

We should really be looking at the "why" behind WHY millennials are the way they are. And with that, I think we need to look back at the baby boomers. Why else would millennials be dying their hair grey? But I digress.

Is there anything else you’d like to share about yourself and how you interpret the millennial generation?
Most millennials I know are not discouraged DESPITE the fact that they have either paid their school off or have worked their butts off to try to pay their school off and still are thousands of dollars in debt. So I find millennials to be the most promising and creative generation. The optimistic generation. We were taught that we could do anything, be anything, try anything, and this has helped us think outside the box. Baby boomer parents are one of the reasons we do so. I hope that as we move up in the world, that we will continue to think this way. To be innovators.
