Abstract
Juggling jobs comes naturally to these city dwellers, who are educated, well-travelled, and at ease with digital technologies. Slashers, unlike earlier generations, do not hesitate to try their hand at different professions and careers – all at the same time. Following their dreams, these young people are quick to acquire new skills – whether it is painting murals or playing ancient instruments, hip-hop dancing or creating fashion – and share them via social media.
