You'd have to be utterly insane to find meaning in that.

Indeed, there is reason to believe the opposite. Millennials are generally more conservative than the baby boomers were at the same age: https://www.cnn.com/2016/09/07/health/millennials-conservati.... That may carry over to attitudes towards things like work.

I use the triad of "money, stability, and prestige," to weigh the value of a role. Young people are naturally attracted to the money-prestige roles, where older workers want stability-money roles. People who value prestige-stability roles tend to be in academia, where prestige-money roles are in the arts/media/politics/non-profit sectors. I am sure there is a gender/sex axis for these preferences as well.
In terms of what you need in a role, admit you need prestige to increase your profile that gets access to greater opportunity. Commit to valuing stability if the things that are important to you are not in the marketplace, and if money is truly your goal, recognize it's almost always made by forgoing prestige and stability - those things come after, if at all.

If that's correct, couldn't age (specifically life experience) play a large factor in the results? Certainly as I get older, my perspective on work -- and everything, really -- has been changing.

At the mid-millenial age of 31, I wasn't happy about my pay, cause it wasn't much, or for part of the time about my work, because it was tedious and needed a change.
