Why do millennials like to play the victim card? I say this as a 28 year old who went to a local public state college and had to work my way up from making under 20k a year fresh out of college to now over 100k.

I majored in math and learned practical business skills, such as excel, public speaking, and leadership. I worked my way up in the very unsexy and unglamorous field of insurance. I didnt follow my passion or whatever advice young people are told, and instead chose something that could get me a career and a good job.

I didnt do anything special and I certainly didnt wallow in pity about being a millennial whos been screwed over by boomers.

I grew up in poverty in Georgia, definitely no advantages from my parents.

So I dont understand this us be them victim mentality of people my age.

This is a bootstraps argument. Nobody is saying that you shouldn't be able to work for your success, people are saying that someone shouldn't be confined to poverty because they make their bed flipping burgers. If this pandemic has proven anything, it's that people desperately need "burger flippers" a lot more than for what we're paying them.

Easier to blame someone else rather than looking in a mirror for their failures I guess

Hell I'm white and grew up in poverty.

My elementary school years were spent in the projects with the black folks.

My high-school years wasn't much better because it turned into white neighborhood shacks.

Dinner for the week was from a few from bags of beans, various breads that had to be cooked and a sack of potatoes.

Kool-Aid and Chef Boyardee pizza was a novelty.

Burned wood and coal until the mid 1980s.

Leaky roof where spots in the ceiling has fungus and mildew .

My sisters bedroom window was a piece of plywood that was used in the winter and taken off in the summer.
