Some of the comments on young grasshopper are pretty funny.

Not to worry. Nobody’s going to give him a job anyway.

With an attitude like his, I doubt he will be working 9 to 5 much at all.

Pajama Boy and Julia would much rather that Uncle Harry, Aunt Nancy, and Cousin Baraq make their pitiful lives as painless as possible.

That’s why I’m not very optimistic about the future of the US. The average millennial knows more about “climate change” than the US Constitution.

There comes a time when every generation realizes its folly in considering itself a new and improved version of its predecessors. By then it’s too late for any real change, but there always is the age-old alternative of taxing the brats into covering your yacht payments.

Freedom 55 has no appeal to our generation

It's all according to what you bring to the table.

If you have a 100 MPH fastball you can probably retire at 35.

But the fact that you are already trying to find something that takes the least effort and time tells me your best bet will be living at the rescue mission.

I almost remember when I was young with a head full of mush yet knew beyond a doubt that I had the whole game wired.

But at least I had the good taste not to talk about it in public.

Geez. I work non-standard hours, being on-call 24-7.
I work between 42 and 60 hours every week.
I never work 9-5. It’s more like 1am to 4am, then noon-6pm, then 9am the next morning to 3pm and 8pm- 2am. It sounds awful, but it pays more than I’ve ever made before. I make my own schedule, except for emergency calls. As long as I keep the customers happy, nobody in management bothers me.

All I will say is that actual experience in the work force is the best teacher.

Wait until she has to work for/with someone who has no compunction about stealing or back-stabbing you and claiming credit her work or ideas.

Working 9 to 5 might be a walk in the park in comparison.

Labor is a supply and demand commodity. If he and his millennials can pull it off, good luck to 'em.

"Furthermore, I don't want to wait till the latter years of my life to be able to live with the level of freedom that comes with formal retirement."

Well, think a scheme and get rich before you get old.

"Freedom 55 has no appeal to our generation"

Laying in a ditch full of snow at the Bulge had no appeal to my great-uncle. New Guinea had no appeal to his brother. The medals those both won also had no appeal to them. Whats your point?

"I believe that I speak for most Millennials when I say 9-5 isn't enough. Please understand that when I use the term 9-5 I use it loosely to refer to restriction. The barriers that accompany the 9-5 life - feeling replaceable, not getting paid according to quality of work, scheduled breaks, the hurdles to really create measurable impact - none of these boundaries are in line with how we Millennials hope to make our mark."

So you don't want structure in your life. Its too hawd for poor baby. You're much too valuable and clever and responsible to be supervised.

"We want more for ourselves, expect more from ourselves,"

And I want a shetland bleeping pony.

"We aim to be judged by the impact our output creates, not the time spent in an office or workstation. We want to enjoy our lives to the fullest right now, concurrent to our most social years."

So you want to be paid more money for less work, on account of how astoundingly valuable your talent is. So you can screw off and get sloshed and baked with your fellow hipster trash on a more regular basis than working. Right.

"Freedom 55 has no appeal to our generation."

Yes, I believe you said that already.

>>Freedom 55 has no appeal to our generation

Freedom 55 didn’t have appeal for my generation either when we were 20 years old. We didn’t want our parents 9-5 jobs. We were going to change the world on our own terms!

Then, we started paying our own bills. We found that being hip and cool and rebellious worked great when mom and dad paid for our car insurance and had us on their corporate health plan.

These Millennials want to do what they want and they demand that someone else pick up the check—because money is something that older people worry about.

Funny thing is, I kinda agree with him. I’ve never worked 9-5 instead I worked a LOT more than that for 40 years. Worked my way through college as well an still graduated with honors. Was made redundant at 42 and started a company that has, according to most, been very successful and provided very good jobs for me and a lot of others. Still, I don’t feel secure. My life is full of deferred compensations and pleasures. So is my wife’s. We saved like fiends for decades and still we are not secure. Nobody is. Life was not meant for retirement. Only that one little charmed generation enjoyed it and we will all pay for it for ages.

Your mother is not financially secure because she probably gave your spoiled self and your siblings everything your little hearts desired, including an excess of self esteem and a modern-day college “education.” Instead of worrying about how to relax the next 40 years until Social Security (cough-cough) — generously and cheerfully paid for by the dreamy illegals invading our nation — provides you with a cushy retirement, get a job and work your butt off. Try paying your mom back a little for her sacrifices by making her proud.

Whiny litle dipshit. Now it is true that I will be getting out of my current career at 25 years. But it is also true that the career I chose lets you get out at 25 because it tends to age you prematurely (corrections). I will have a second career, preferably something that isn’t so bad for me. I will probably work at that for 10 to 15 years more. I just can’t do 30 to 35 years in prison (lol). I know of one guy that worked that long. He died of a massive heart attack/stroke driving home from his last day on the job. Not me, I’m not doing that.

Spoiled little brat. He probably lives in mommy’s basement. In fact, I wonder if it was mommy that spoiled him. I wonder where daddy is.

only 2% of people retiring can do so without some form of assistance; either relatives or Government (not Social Security, it is paid for a lifetime of working).

I’m sure that if you’re using your masters degree in LGBT studies in your career as a blogger for Obama or something like that, your attitude is just dandy. But, if you work in a business that has real customers, deadlines, and an actual need to compete... then you’re screwed.
