My kids aren't struggling. They bucked the millennials' trend and actually had 5-, 10-year plans, etc., did the research, pursued degrees in fields that were marketable, worked internships, etc., worked while attending college, took out no students loans, networked with their Big Ten universities' professional and alumni associations, graduated, have jobs, have been promoted a couple of times, and live in their own places, supporting themselves.
A large percentage of millennials aren't carrying their weight, let alone supporting anyone else. From Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce:
I'm not the one who needs help. The largest generation now, millennials, aren't even pulling their own weight. That drags EVERYONE down.
There is a ton of statistics in that study, we could discuss it for days. Fact of the matter is, once the youngest of millenials get into their late 20's I expect all of those numbers to improve.
I still stand by statements, millenials are already doing doing the dirty work and figuring out the problems of today.
