Read it again. Only applies to the entitled douchecanoes, not all millennials. Had it applied to all millennials, it would have been a sentence like this:
"Millennials, those entitled douchecanoes..."
Swear to god, some people can't see past the chip on their shoulder.
It's all good though. Once the page views and click through rate slows down, it'll all be deleted anyway.
Actually, you said "entitled douchecanoes millenials".
Okay, if you feel that strongly about it being true, show some evidence that "entitled douchecanoes millenials" blame others. That's a broad brush stroke. There's a lot of entitled douchecanoes millenials... how are you basing it that they blame others?

And it's still an ignorant comment. There are "entitled douchecanoes" of all generations.
I've had my fair share of both 50 and 20 year old something patients who acted rude, entitled, and could care less about doing their home exercises programs in order to get better. I don't see how the idea that there are lazy, hard-working, compassion, and rude people from every age group is hard to understand.
BTW Doctor = Educator in Latin, means you hold the highest degree in your field of study. It doesn't mean you're in the 90% percentile of the human IQ. We're allowed to make grammatical mistakes too ya know. Anybody can get a doctorate degree in a field they're interested in as long as they're willing to put the work into it. Hard-work is what gets you places, not high intelligence necessarily.
Here's a serious question. I bought my first house (with my husband) when we were 35 (we are boomers/Gen X born 1961).
It cost 225K in 1995. Before then we always lived in rental properties with at least 1 other person. All my college educated friends had the same basic experience.
Do Millennials feel they deserve to own something better and sooner (before age 35) and feel they are cheated if they don't? This is where I get confused.

I bought my piece of real estate when I was 26. I built a home on it that was finished in two years. The total value was about 960,000 at the time (I'm in NJ where the cost of living is high). I did it as an investment. Not because I felt entitled or was going to feel cheated.

Please read the post again. No plural.
Then, read it in context relative to the post that it was in reply to.
You'll see that it was in response to the notion that if pre-employment testing was common that people would self study software programs that may help them gain employment. My point was that:
1. That does happen today and hasn't changed behaviors
2. The douchecanoe millennial segment of the population with a heavy sense of entitlement would still blame their lack of employability on someone else.
Yes, a broad brush on a narrow segment. Hundreds of interviews and conversations have formed that opinion.

Personally, a home wouldn't be a good investment for me in the wake of the recession, even if I could afford one.
Housing prices are still grossly inflated and will fall further. Instead of spending so much money on a mortgage, taxes and repairs for these grossly inflated properties, I can instead rent an apartment/condo, save the rest of my money and invest it in other assets that will have a higher likelihood of netting me a long-term profit.
IF I were to invest in any real estate, it would be as a landlord and I would rent out the property to other tenants.

There are absolutely ignorant douchecanoes in every generation. That was never an argument.

That may have been what your point was but that's not what you said. And you still haven't shown the generalization to be true.
As a lawyer and PhD a top school can make a difference, for medical professions it doesn't matter, somebody who went to a no name school will have the same pay and almost all the same opportunities as someone who went to Columbia or Johns Hopkins.
I still have yet to see this turf war of boomers vs. millennials in the real world.
What I find humorous is that a doctorate level medical professional would use the name of an arm bone for an adjective meaning amusing.
