3.14 Maybe "Do What You Love" Was All a Capitalist Scam


Listen Later

Chris is ambivalent about celebrity conductor Gustavo Dudamel's surprise move from LA to New York, and Liz is still awed by the amazing food she ate during a trip to LA.  Then, we talk about work: Once upon a time, it felt like our generation was all about finding a job we love so we'd never have to work a day in our lives, but judging from the conversations we've been having lately, it sounds like that's changed.  Why was "do what you love" such a thing for millennials?  Was it a generational thing or a developmental thing?  How do we think about work now?  What do you do if you don't want to sell your soul to work, but not advancing means the risk of getting fired?  This is real adult shit.  Finally, inspired by the Off Menu podcast (Liz's current favorite), we share our top five starters/appetizers.  Turns out we both agree that appetizers are low-key better than entrees, so this was a mouth-watering joy to put together!
