Just an FYI, those college age millennials you like so much are probably actually Generation Z, the oldest of which are 24.

That may be. Either way, they are decent kids. And their stories impress me.
Lots of people will have you believing that all is lost. These kids are trying very hard to make it in a world that is different than their mentors lived in. Just like us when we were growing up. I have hope for them.
I met a kid.. He looked 14. His girlfriend did too. Green hair, tattoos, piercings - the whole shebang. He said that he travels (I won’t let you know where, but it’s a 2 hour commute each way) to be a general manager at a restaurant. When I asked him why he said, flatly “Because I’m a man and I need to do what my family needs me to do to be a good man”
The commute didn’t bother him. He did it instead of just moping around and wishing for closer work. He just did what he needed to do _right now_ to support his young family. I commend him for that. I know how much that hurts.
