You said it better than this Millennial could have.

It's been like this for at lest 5 years or so. My niece, about 5 years ago, walked into a NYC publishing agency with her degree and trophy, offered a great starter job and declined, thought she knew enough to run the company. Amazing.
[[I am with you there! Yet I don’t remember being miserable nor pessimistiCc about the future, even with Carter’s “misery index.” I don’t remember my peers being miserable or pessimistic, either.
It may be because we weren’t that far removed from the realities of life.]]
“We were closer to the land” and much more grounded. We were also surrounded in most cases by adults that also went through tough times and always related their experiences.
This is the missing component today. No perspective, lack of self control and too much emotionalism.
“...Millennials are the result of 50 years of liberal indoctrination...”
While that is true in the macro, in the micro there are things that all of us can do to undo some of it.
Coach little league for one. Take kids to the rifle and pistol range for another, in groups, with the folks you shoot with. Get involved and do the one thing that you can do.
My kids turned out really well. They can smell liberal BS a mile away, because I made sure of it. They push back.
We can’t change everything, but we can ALL make differences within our own personal spheres of influence.
Just the same way OUR parents did with us.
THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE RULES THE WORLD.....................
To your point, in most of these cases I don’t necessarily blame the kids. I blame we the parents who failed in the raising of the AOC’s dominating our culture. Not all kids will turn out good to be sure, but good parenting turns out more good kids than bad.
The work-around for that which this HR lady said firms are using is to offer Millenials jobs with impressive sounding titles, but where the tasks are basically entry-level.
Entry Level Senior Project Manager, for example.
Basically a paper-pushing admin job.
So do I. In the case of millennials, from those I've encountered, a lot of them get it that they have to figure it out and make responsible decisions now. There's no longer many if any sure paths to the future. There are those who have wonderful family lives, buy houses they can afford, don't spend on things they can't afford, and are respectful, hard working and pleasant. Then, there's the others....
People love to bash Millennials. Me? I'm surprised they're not all voting for socialists! I'm going to LMAO when they gift us with socialized medicine!
I am influenced in my opinions by the many Millenials I speak with, 80% of whom are Kool-Aid swilling delusionals.
My kids were raised in the latter (homeschooled too), and thank God, are productive members of society and not lazy.
I’ve had friends who have whined about the older generations not up and retiring so that they can take their place at the top of the totem pole. The concept of experience having value is entirely lost on them.
