Young professional

[5] Young professionals can provide a welcome increase in a local area's tax base and can also create a snowball effect of attracting and infusing young energy and talent into an area.

[6] Young professionals can also organize themselves and bring energy to shape communities and alter local or ethnic politics.

[7] Young professionals are courted by larger social and occupational organizations or employers in some contexts,[8][9] but not in other.

[10] Young professionals are also heavily targeted by purveyors of career and financial advice.

[11][12] In the workplace, young professionals can be viewed as talented and energetic individuals who present special management challenges[13] or as "cannon fodder" to be cast aside once they are no longer profitable to a business.
