Worlds (and wardrobes) collide in the office

Rodney Cole, assistant director of career services at Wayne State, is quoted in a feature story about current clothing trends in the workplace for Gen X and Gen Y members. \"I think students are starting to lose the awareness between the casual clothes they wear to class and casual clothes for work,\" Cole observes. He admits that even he was confused about the definition of \"casual\" Fridays at one of his first jobs. Claire Raines, author of a book on the generation gap in the workplace, notes that "some of us have a tendency forever to be critical of whoever is young at the time." The story includes a photo of Cole in his office with WSU Student Council President Earl Carruthers, who is a co-op student who assists United Parcel Service with on-campus recruiting here.
