Career Advice for New Workers, Job Seekers, and Workaholics

What happens when you mix EPCOT, a college grad, a Gen X dad, and a whole lot of unsolicited opinions about work, life, and figuring things out? You get this video. We took a father-daughter day trip to EPCOT (because where else do you have deep conversations about burnout, ambition, and impostor syndrome?), and decided to flip the script on our usual content. This one’s a little different from the usual Rational Workforce videos. Less “expert analysis,” more “real talk on a park bench.” ➡️ She’s 22. Newly employed. Optimistic. Sharp. Slightly skeptical. ➡️ I’m… not 22. Slightly more jaded. Still hopeful. Definitely opinionated. We wandered through World Showcase and asked each other one question per country — no scripts, no rehearsals, just two generations trying to understand each other (and the world of work) a little better. If you’ve ever had a tough conversation with your kid (or your parent) about what work really means — or if you’ve ever wished someone had those conversations with you — this one’s for you. Leave a comment with your favorite question, a hot take, or something you wish your boss/mentor/parent/kid would understand.
