Millennials…….We were screwed

[rightwinger]

Massive student debt, low paying jobs and few advancement opportunities. millennials look back and realize they have nothing to show

Millennials own nothing because the economy screwed us over for 25 years - but older generations still try and blame it on our work ethic

The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that high student loan debt caused millennials to delay major life decisions. Fewer earnings meant delaying marriage, home and car purchases, and not being able to move out of our parents' homes - or having to move back in during a crisis.

Ahhh, the great prospects of a dying superpower run by capitalist. Pay is about 35 years too low.

I see you left out off-shoring, business visas and trespassers.

Ageism -- the newest frontier for woke victimology.


What happens when you ninnies manage to create enough sub-groups so that everybody gets to be a victim? How could you possibly cope with the world when there is nobody left to oppress you?

My son is a millennial and he will tell you that as a manager he finds millennials very irresponsible. When doing their work, they let home life and feelings dominate their day, instead of accomplishing their goals.

He prefers working with others that have more life experience and not such light weights.

Yeah they were too stupid to realize that a college degree in art history or women's studies was going to be worthless

Not necessarily true as many electrical and mechanical engineers found themselves replaced by BVs or having their careers off-shored.

Nothing new about that I had to encounter the same problems the forty years I was in business management.

I was very disappointed in that activity when I was doing engineering work.

After WWII, America was the only intact industrialized nation.

We sold a lot of stuff and times were good.

Now Germany and Japan have rebuilt, are back to full power and we have competition so it's harder to make good money.

More RW propaganda

The overwhelming majority of college degrees are in business, education, healthcare, STEM

Racking up $100,000 in student debt for a degree in Medieval Women's Poetry affected both your earnings and advancement opportunities, eh?

Plumbers, on the other hand ...

Meh they are also the first generation who could get income contingent student loan payments so not really. Too many video games, not enough hours in the day.

I am a Baby Boomer who graduated in the late 70’s

I was able to pay for a four year degree mostly working minimum wage summer jobs. I graduated with almost no debt.

Upon graduation, I was offered a job that allowed me to get an apartment by myself and buy a new car.

I was married and bought a house within five years of graduating college.

Millennials did not get the same deal I got. Their minimum wage jobs did not come close to paying their tuition. They were forced to substitute debt with the assumption that a good paying job upon graduation would more than make up for it.

Upon graduation they found they were offered unpaid internships or Temp jobs that did not come close to cover their debt and living expenses.
So they ended up moving back with their parents and putting off marriage, home ownership and retirement funding until they were more financially stable.

Millennials got screwed

Gotta link?

I was an owner and management, the millennials are tougher to deal with than the boomers, there are exceptions to the rules, however millennials are not that tough.

My son did well Bachelors, was working before he graduated from college, same company he is with now and is in upper management, he doesn't play games, work is work and the goal is to get it done, many don't share his goal, hence they work under him.

Illegal aliens flooded the work force at about that time. I stopped seeing high schoolers working at fast food places, and instead it was all hispanic.

The vast illegal alien population has suppressed wages for ALL Americans.
