Labor is a main concept of Modernity, from which the social and psychological representation of the individual was constructed and founded. Today, we notice with astonishment, that those work values corresponding to the generations who were born prior to 1960 are different from those who were born afterwards in the 1970s and 1980s. However, starting from the 1990s these work values are completely foreign to this generation. Not only should we attribute this phenomenon to acceleration, a result of the dynamics between technology, telecommunications, and the economic and cultural globalization; it may be due to a change in the representation of labor, when it ceases to be the center of personal experience and meaning. The consequences reach the whole society, particularly the educational perspective.
