Weekly Poll #1 – Impact Investing: Why do it? Why work in it? What to expect?

Weekly Poll #1:

Impact Investing: Motivations, Expectations and Careers

Picking up right on the theme of the week, I was curious to learn more about your motivations for looking at impact investing. Do you just find it generally interesting? Do you see a career in it potentially? Why? Why not? What are your expectations about how much people should earn in return for social investments?

Please vote on all questions so we can get some reasonable numbers in the mix. You can instantly see current results. I know you are there, because the latest post series has proven very popular! As announced, if all readers combined can provide me a minimum of 100 votes (on each question), I’ll release my hostage: Part 3 of the 6-step career checklist for impact investing post series! I know it’s devious, but hey, we might as well get used to some warm up to take our Good Generation community to a higher level of interaction and discussion. In this case, the cost to you for this starts at a modest 6 clicks.

Lastly, kidding aside, please do share with me any suggestions for future polls you may find interesting to learn more about your fellow Good Generation comrades and their views on various topics. I’d be happy to pick up on some of these ideas in the future.

Announcement – Introducing the Weekly Poll

Dear Good Generation,

In addition to the “Weekly Ponder” series, I’d like to add yet another item: the “Weekly Poll”. Not only do I like to change things up as you know from plain vanilla articles and questions, but I also am highly interested in collecting on the community’s behalf some more information, which I then can share and mention in subsequent posts.

My opinion about the best way to fight our notorious lack of data in the area of do-good careers is to start somewhere, keep it simple and hopefully find some surprises and interesting nuggets along the way. I’m serious, don’t show this to the folks at Gallup, they would probably turn in their graves by the lack of finesse and design in my poll – oh well.

Oh, and yes, I deliberately inserted my poll in the middle of a (apparently popular) post series. The cost of the next few articles has just gone up by a few clicks! That’s right, I’ll offer an incentive for participating in the mini-poll: once I get a minimum number for participation, I’ll post the next part of the series. Consider this a retaliation for all of you who ignored my benign (and arguably poorly marketed) request for some participation in the last Weekly Ponder!

More on this in the actual Weekly Poll, though. For now, thanks for joining in and as always, please do send me your suggestions for interesting poll topics and questions as it relates to our blog community, so I can consider them for the future.

Sincerely,

Thien
