What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

“Becoming Generation Flux” is a good analysis of how education, the workplace and career management are becoming unpredictable. The increasing costs of education and its impact on graduates to how one can no longer count on steady employment with one organization throughout a career, it is clear Miles Smith understands the changing career landscape.This audiobook Iis good for those just beginning to look at a career path and educational choices ;

Very informative book!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I highly recommend, " Becoming Generation Flux." It's a very comprehensive yet concise audiobook on career planning. There are many insights on the data on unemployment and labor trends. I appreciated how the author also gives historical context so that his readers can better understand the influxes of the job market. For example, he explains how machines have dramatically changed the era that we live in and resulted in the decline of white collar jobs. The author mentioned people in my generation (90s kids) and how we are more at risk to lie with our parents. This resonated highly with me. However, I feel better prepared and wiser in my career. This audiobook has definitely given me some useful tips and methods.
