As a millennial and paramedic. I would say every generation has thier problems. Millennials especially the ones who went out got a job and are trying to do good for themselves don’t have the advantages as thier parents and thier grandparents had when it comes to economy and opportunities. How could my grandpa with no degree get a factory job for 35yrs buy a house and retirement with extra cash? Today most work twice the hours and will probably never be able to buy a house and what is retirement? But like I said every generation has thier problems. I see different people everyday and tbh if it wasn’t for these “milienals” who are in the military, paying taxes, working public safety there would be no way the other generations could survive. I think it’s a our entitled society as a whole is the issue.
You're hitting it right on the head. It's not the generations that are changing, it's the world around them. Placing blame is just a strange attempt at personalizing the issue.
Also I think there are incredible opportunities for millennials that our parents and grand parents never had. Its all about recognizing them and taking advantage of it.
I wish I could've gone to college. Money was definitely a factor, being a homeless minor. Though, I dedicated myself to a trade, and have been lucky enough to find a good position, working for a good boss (even if he votes republican :p ).

You guys are not why would people even think that. Check this out I made a call for mention notification on steemit here I think it's important now what do u think
amazing topic and video.
I truly think that millennials can be VERY driven if they can find a place to call home and a community to call family. There tends to be quite a bit of separation in today's youth growing up.. I'm a millennial myself.. I think lol. i'm 26. I feel like one at least haha!
Good interview. I am on the younger side of the X Generation and definitely feel the side-effects of living in a culture and political environment with "increased rate of exploitation". It is clear, however, that Millenials are carrying a heavier burden that will have dire consequences. For example, I have been taking advantage of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program by working for a non-profit, and in one more year the program claims I will be eligible to receive full, tax-exempt loan forgiveness. If Betsy Devos has her way, however, the PSLF program will no longer be available for graduates (hopefully they cannot pull the rug up from under me at the last minute). This will not only remove an escape route to loan enslavement, there will be no incentive for people to fill important but low-wage public service jobs. I heard a speech by Prof. Wolff on YouTube today which seems to have summed it up well: we are giving money to the people who are using our money to steal more of our money.

True there’s pros and cons about it. I just don’t understand why the older generations bash millienals so much. I mean they raised them? Lol
Hahah exactly!
