That guy is a really good singer. Thats a funny little video.
I don't know why the older generation talks so poorly about us. We are eventually going to be in charge, and that's the older generations real problem. They want to lose power to anybody.
I don't think most millennials think they are going to millionaires. We are pretty much graduating from college with tons of debt, and as a result live with our parents. We are not getting married, buying houses, or having kids at the rate of previous generations because we are loaded down with debt. In fact, most millennials I know don't even want kids because they are another cost, and having a kid is going to put you in medical debt.
As for the part about posting selfies and inspirational quotes on Instagram.... I found that to be true in many cases. Social media accounts is more about presenting yourself to others in the way you want to be seen versus a reflection of reality. It's all really pretentious.
Getting trophies for just participating... I never got a trophy for anything, and I never wanted a trophy for anything. I was in martial arts, never got a trophy. If you wanted me to do something for money, I would do it. If you said, wash my car, and if you do it right, I'll give you $50. If you do half assed job, I'll give you $5. I would have washed the **** out of that car. To me trophies are actually worthless.

There are milliennials out there doing just fine that never attended college.
There are many trades out there that pay just as well as many college required professions.
Every generation talks poorly of the previous.
Heck even Aristotle lamented about the younger generation.
What some folks fail to realize is that they were immature at one time too.

I have 3 kids age 22-28, ran a restaurant employing many millennials, and listened to my wife tell stories of the millennials under her leadership as a First Sergeant, plus I talk to everybody......my take is that 23.8% of the millennials are worth a damn.
The rest should be written off as a loss.
U are one of the good ones..Hooray!
THE OTHERS are like Haitians.
Seriously.
Seriously, Haitians?? lol
Speaking from experience as apparently I am part of this group. Part of the problem is that we were sold the dream that all you need is a college degree and you are good to go.
It doesn't help that the colleges sell their amazing programs and that we are supposedly guaranteed all their resources and they tell us we will get a high paying job regardless of majors. So many people don't really think about what the top paying jobs actually are before they go to school and they end up picking something they are interested in. Sports business was a big major at my school and all the jocks took that because they, "liked sports." Or rather something that they do as a hobby like "fashion," or writing. Then, there are the utterly insane majors out there like liberal arts or my all time favorite Women's Studies!
If you aren't training for a background in Nursing, Teaching, Science, Engineering, or Technology. Your major will be just a degree and not mean much with a few exceptions.
Amazing to me is how many people absolutely know this but yet still borrow $100K to get a degree in crap like Humanities, Psych, Soc, or one of the other "ologies" that does not translate into a decent job without having at least a Master's Degree attached.Speaking from experience as apparently I am part of this group.
