People need to realize that the millennials have been fucked over by baby boomers. All degrees could get you a job. A minimum wage job supported the family. Nothing was expensive. Housing was cheap. No student loan issue. Everything was great.
And then they fucked us over and blame us for not dealing with their greed. Depression is on the rise as result of this and shit parenting.
ikr. Boomers be rubbing their hands gleefully and be like:
let's shame millenials who still live at home in their 20s. why not buy or rent out one of our properties ey millenial? you don't want to be considered a loser do you?
yes millenial, get that mortgage to buy my $400k spare property which I bought in the 70s-90s with my job that didn't even require a that degree weve been pushing you to get while I was the single earner of the family.
what's that, you want training for that job? you gotta get them student loans for college millenial, it's the only way to get a good job. why should we pay for your training millenial? oh you got that college degree now? so did 250 of these other applicants millenial. now who is willing to work for the cheapest and have the most work stacked on them? why should I pay you millenial when I can pay someone in India and China to do it for cheaper?
what's that millenial? you don't have a job, you are living at home? we weren't as lazy as you when we were your age millenial. hang on let us post articles about these millenials who still live in their parents homes
These are all valid points but kind of skirting away from the issue. It's much tougher now than it was back for the boomers, there's no doubt about that. My issue is the people literally doing nothing but mooching off their parents and complaining about the things you brought up but doing nothing to better themselves.
One thing this article doesn't account for: People trying to get a job. I was part of this statistic at one point. During that time I was very actively looking for work. ---
