Alex and Sophie York
The class of 2023, including my baby sister, is entering the workforce.
  • The class of 2023 — made up of Gen Zers — is graduating and preparing to enter the workforce.
  • Many graduates will likely look for ways to find work-life balance and purpose in their careers.
  • Here's my advice to my sister and other new grads on how to enjoy work.

Dear Sophie,

I know, I know — you don't want to hear it. But as an older sister who's been in the workforce for nearly three years, I feel it's my responsibility to provide some advice to you as you enter the "real world."

In fact, this is a letter to all 2023 graduates, and anyone else who cares to listen.

There have been a lot of conversations surrounding work lately. After all, it's why I am employed: to talk about the workplace experience, delve into how people are building their careers, and help explain the trends started by young people like you.
