Must-Read for YoPros: Millennials paralyzed by choice

My friend Akhila posted this amazing piece from Priya Parker on CNN's Global Public Square (GPS) blog about the pressures Millennials face in making career and life decisions (Millennials Paralyzed By Choice, 3/8/2012). It struck really close to home because a) I have had countless conversations with friends about the Catch 22 that is being a young adult, and b) It was pretty appropriate coming from Akhila because she's beyond badass and I'm jealous of that quality of hers. Parker analyzes a generation that is presented with seemingly limitless possibilities, and yet no decision they make in career or life stands out as that golden ticket or silver bullet to success and happiness. She makes a really astute observation that I have also recognized about how this phenomenon has intensified because of social media.
