""Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do," Jobs said during his 2005 Stanford Commencement speech. "If you haven't found it yet, keep looking-and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.""
"Many Gen Zers are apprehensive about what career to choose. Some are taking whatever gig they can get in today's labor market, as roles are quickly being disrupted by AI, and once-lucrative jobs have fallen out of favor. But Jobs' story is a reminder to young professionals that chasing a long, passionate career in what they love is the recipe for sustainable success. After all, they have a nearly 50-year career ahead of them."
"Jobs' has a diverse lineup of successful ventures under his belt-including Pixar Animation Studios, and software company NeXT-but Apple was his ultimate brainchild. Leading the company through its many iterations, Jobs helmed the creation of generation-defining products for decades. Baby boomers waited in line to snag the Apple II computer back in 1977; by 2001, millennials were flooding their music collections onto the iPod classic; and all throughout the 2010s, Gen Zers were gifted their first iPhones."
Apple is worth $4.1 trillion forty-five years after its IPO. Steve Jobs endured near-bankruptcy, was ousted from the company he cofounded, and later returned to drive Apple's resurgence. True satisfaction comes from doing great work and loving what you do, paired with the counsel to keep looking and not settle. Many Gen Zers feel apprehensive about career choices amid rapid labor-market disruption from AI and shifting job demand. Jobs founded and led multiple ventures including Pixar and NeXT and guided the creation of generation-defining products across decades, from the Apple II to the iPod and iPhone. Apple sits at number four on the Fortune 500 and has sold more than three billion iPhones.
