<description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Call it Great Expectations versus Hard-Earned Experience.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A new survey of both U.S. high school students and full-time workers finds many in the upcoming generation think they'll need to earn more than current employees in order to consider themselves successful.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The national online survey conducted on behalf of CareerBuilder polled more than 200 high school seniors, as well as over 3,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hyundai-loeschl.at/&quot;&gt;Billig Air Max&lt;/a&gt;,000 full-time workers at a variety of industries and companies across the United States. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;When asked what salary they need to earn to be successful, 25 percent of current workers say they'd be okay earning less than $50,000 per year. But that view of success with a salary at under 50k per year was shared by only 18 percent of the high schoolers surveyed. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Another 18 percent of high school students said an annual salary of between $50,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hyundai-loeschl.at/&quot;&gt;Nike Air Max&lt;/a&gt;,000 and $70,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apshop.ch/tag/Ugg.html&quot;&gt;Ugg&lt;/a&gt;,000 would put them in the successful range, compared to nearly 30 percent of folks already in the work force. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;And more than one-fifth of the high schoolers polled said successful means a salary of between $100,000-$150,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apshop.ch/tag/Ugg-Boots-Kids.html&quot;&gt;Ugg Boots Kids&lt;/a&gt;,000 per year,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apshop.ch/tag/Ugg-Outlet-Schweiz.html&quot;&gt;Ugg Outlet Schweiz&lt;/a&gt;, whereas just 15 percent of current employees were reaching for that salary goal as a measure of their own success. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&quot;While workplace expectations can vary widely among different generations, one thing they have in common is the want to be successful in their positions,&quot; Rosemary Haefner,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hexedoktoren.dk/max.html&quot;&gt;Air Max&lt;/a&gt;, CareerBuilder's chief human resources officer,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hyundai-loeschl.at/&quot;&gt;Air Max 90&lt;/a&gt;, said in a statement. &quot;Introducing programs that promote learning and collaboration -- such as mentoring -- can help workers of all generations achieve that together.&quot;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Fortunately,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hexedoktoren.dk/max.html&quot;&gt;Nike Air Max&lt;/a&gt;, the younger generation's view of success apparently doesn't just hinge on their take-home pay. Eighty-one percent of the high school students polled (compared to three-quarters of people currently working) defined success as a their ability to provide a comfortable life for themselves and their families.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Nearly 80 percent of the students linked being successful with a sense of accomplishment, versus 67 percent of current workers. And 78 percent of high schoolers believe being successful also means making a positive impact on people's lives, compared to less than half of those currently employed.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;CareerBuilder's Haefner,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hexedoktoren.dk/max.html&quot;&gt;Air Max Køb&lt;/a&gt;, meanwhile,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apshop.ch/tag/Ugg-Boots-Online-Kaufen.html&quot;&gt;Ugg Boots Online Kaufen&lt;/a&gt;, says companies need to begin adjusting their recruitment and retention strategies now to prepare for this next generation of young people preparing to enter the workforce.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
