Yesterday, left a comment on my post War Stories. He wondered whether folks working in finance had more than one head. Their heads keep getting chopped off, yet there is never a shortage of people in line for the next cycle.
Makes one wonder if people in the financial sector have more than one head and their thinking with the wrong head caused the problems we now have.
As cheesy as it may sound they just keep coming back .
But the 36-year-old entrepreneur already had his eyes on a new bike. In August he launched National Home Auction, which runs public auctions of foreclosed property on behalf of big lenders such as Citibank (C), GMAC (GM), and Wachovia (WB). In founding the new business, Knott relied on contacts he'd made during his decade in the mortgage business. He also brought along 10 people from his former company. And once again, business is booming. "Banks are being overrun by the assets coming in," he says.

Take it slow, get into a blue chip firm, ride your way to the top, where you will enjoy stability and a relaxed retirement afterwards. This is great career advise right? Obviously the present crop of twenty somethings do not think so. I have been in a few career goals themed debates myself. It is also commonplace to hear the above-forties complain about the level of impatience displayed by the twenty-somethings. They often conclude such statements by giving you an earful of the merits of patience.
Is patience still a virtue when it comes to making career choices? Would you advise your little cousin to take up a job at AT&T rather than a similar job at Google, where he/she could ride the hype machine for a while and jump ship when the hype finally crests? This post at the Careerist, put my opinion on this issue in a concise manner. .
Surely there are a variety of social and cultural factors influencing impatience, but as far as I’m concerned, the big reason for all this impatience is one thing: family.
Tying the desires to be successful to family commitments. suggests that patience is definitely not an optimum strategy that would resolve this problem set.
Luckily, I am 23 years old and most likely won’t have this family until at least my mid thirties. If you do the math this leaves me with about a decade to become a successful business person. Once the wife and kids come, the career must take a backseat. This is why I’m so impatient!

As a Nigerian the zeal to make a difference is heightened. It would only be fair to say our folks had it better than we did, in terms of stability and Government support. Also the thirty something year old Nigerian has seen a great country gone bad. He has a vivid idea of the potential in a country like ours and he has enough energy and enthusiasm in him to attempt to bring forth change. Many more reasons can be attributed for the position taken by the restless generation, the you-can-do-it-doctrine, the opening up of the global economy, foreign media. I know I am sort of impatient and I have a plethora of reason for my impatience. Are you impatient? What are your reason? I'd be more interested in knowing what makes young Nigerians a hustling breed?
