ANNOTATION: Generation X follows the population cohort labeled the Baby Boomers. Birth years for this group generally fall between 1960 and 1981. Characteristics of this group include being more global, technologically oriented, and culturally diverse than previous generations. This article addresses three myths about Generation X career development. These myths include: Individuals in Generation X are slackers, lacking career drive and ambition; Individuals in Generation X are poorly suited to today's career realities; Individuals in Generation X have little influence in the workplace. Each myth's misperceptions are corrected.
