The gamification of investing has led to a new generation of investors.
And, they approach investing with a much more cavalier strategy than those before them.
This younger generation is also experiencing rapid promotion in the workplace and a rise in their penchant for entrepreneurship.
Just like their investing methods appear to ignore many of the risks, their path in the business world is often accompanied by unrealistic expectations.
At a meeting of the Young Global Leaders network, Jack Ma shed light on what the room of young adults should focus on in the next 30 years.
He said:
"When you are 20 to 30 years old, you should follow a good boss [and] join a good company to learn how to do things."
He wasn't saying that you shouldn't become an entrepreneur in your 20s, only that learning from the skilled and experienced people around you will help you to develop your talents.
Ma believes that becoming an entrepreneur in your 30s is ideal.
You still have time to fail, so go ahead and experiment to find out what you are great at.
Levi Borba believes that Jack Ma is right. Borba writes about the entrepreneurship timeline in his article for the Entrepreneur's Handbook.
