Young people 'should never be at home' if they want to be successful professionally, NYU professor says
  • Young people "should never be at home" if they're seeking professional and romantic success.
  • This is according to NYU professor Scott Galloway who has previously shunned remote working habits.

Young people are getting flack for working from home again, with one professor saying it adversely affects their professional and romantic success.

Scott Galloway, a marketing professor at the New York University Stern School of Business, spoke about the perils of being at home at The Wall Street Journal's CEO Council Summit, on Wednesday.

$4 shows Galloway saying: "You should never be at home. That's what I tell young people. Home is for seven hours of sleep and that's it. The amount of time you spend at home is inversely correlated to your success professionally and romantically. You need to be out of the house."

In $4 at the same event, the professor insisted that success and work-life balance do not go hand in hand.

He said: "You can have it all. You just can't have it all at once. And while we all know that guy or gal who has a great relationship with their parents, is in amazing shape, has a food blog, donates time at the ASPCA, and is a DJ on the weekends, assume you are not that person.

"If you expect to be in the top 10% economically, much less the top 1%, buck up. Two decades plus, of nothing but work. That's my experience."

Insider contacted Galloway via email for further comment but did not immediately hear back.

Galloway has long been an advocate of office working and shunned remote working habits because it hinders young people's ability to build relationships and network.

He previously advised young workers: "Before you collect dogs and spouses, get into the office, establish mentors, establish friends," in an $4. He added that workers who get promoted are the ones with the best relationships at work.

Billionaire CEO Elon Musk is also on a crusade against remote workers and $4," in a recent interview with $4.

Musk has incorporated this value across his various companies including giving $4 to either quit or return to the office last year. He also called Twitter $4 shortly after his $44 billion takeover.

However, remote working may be here to stay. Around 55% of remote workers in the US said they are $4 to continue working from home, a recent poll by $4found.
