We don't look at our jobs the same way. It's a 2 to 3 year adventure then we're ready for the next one.

This is as much the employers fault as the generation's. Employers don't offer pensions anymore, or really any incentive for company loyalty.

What do you mean you don't want to work a minimum wage job that requires two degrees?!

You guys just have to start saying no. Minimalistic wages, part time hours and no benefits are the future for most workplaces, at least in the U.S. Stop going to college. Just stop until they make it worth your while again - meaning there has to be a reasonable return on your investment in the short and long run. Read Hemingway and Nietzsche in the bathtub independently if you want to get liberal artsy. Academe is an industry like any other and degrees are commodities no different than pork bellies. Any industry or service is boycottable and higher education needs some serious slap back.

whoooo! (how do you make the freaking cheering/whistle face, I can never figure that one out!)

no no no, one of the smiley faces

Wait until I whisper in your ear tonight and nibble on your ear lobe

Absolutely no respect for elders, want everything for free. Don't appreciate hard work. Drink waaaayyy too many energy drinks. Have mountains of debt and worthless degrees& don't know what taxes are. Thing is that I think this is all as a result of the first 3 things not being taught at a young age, we are too busy to teach them because we need a house that costs way too much and both parents need to work to pay for the house and everything they don't need. yup! about sums it up! I'm 25 and my parents disciplined me as a kid, got my first job at 14 cause my mom told me that by then If I wanted something I had to pay for it myself. Almost everyone younger than me has every single thing paid for by their parents. This is why they never leave home. 10 year olds have cell phones, bad idea. Also, I love coffee and avocado, but not together, thats weird.

This has not been my experience with millennials...

Also, a lot of millennials are older than you and have careers and families...

ETA: in my experience there's a substantial difference between millennials who are in their 30s and those that are in their teens or early to mid 20s...I don't even know how they are all considered to be of the same generation.

- Respect your elders
- Earn what you have
- Have a good work ethic
- Dont drink wayyyyy too many energy drinks
- Avoid excess debt
- Obtain a useful degree
- Understand taxes


One of these things seems out of place in this list.

Seems most parents shelter millennials from things and keep them from similar responsibilities youth in my days had.
