I love the cynicism. Perhaps it's a perspective you normally find in someone older. As a gen-Xer I am sick and tired of people bashing millennials. That Simon Sinek talk is just the worst. Almost every sentence in that talk is completely false. (Heck, not just that Sinek talk, but pretty much all his talks are filled with falsehoods). People _want_ to hear bad things about millennials, but it's just not true.

"Because the worst has already happened. It is happening, and it will continue to happen."

Au-contrair; much, much worse is yet to come.

But I really like her response to the situation. To take personal responsibility and find happiness in the moment. More evidence that the general pop-media consensus on millenials is wrong.


They did it to us too. Called us "slackers." America just shits on its young, I guess, and squanders the investment.


> You’ve had a bachelor’s degree for three months. It cost $100,000 to earn, all before interest.

$100,000 well spent. Possibly the best article I've read in years.


Agree with all of it, or not, it's a good and thought-provoking read.
