Abstract: Abstract This paper explores the relationship between the sense of self of members of the young generation and their chosen occupation, with the expectation that the young workforce, given their generational characteristics, would be seeking a better match between themselves and their job. The brief qualitative research conducted for this purpose asked university seniors to comment on themselves and their future vision of the work they would be doing. The findings revealed that the ideal conditions for seniors’ vision of themselves were mostly made up of a good match between their own characteristics and their chosen careers and work environments.
