Most Millennials Are Finding It Hard to Transition Into Adulthood: Report

I'll repeat this story in case you missed it the first time:

The girl where I get my eyes checked has a Master's Degree in history, specifically WWII, specifically Europe, specifically Germany, specifically German manufacturing and resupply. She's the girl who hands you a clipboard full of questions and then shows you to the exam room.

 

There's a book .. published in the 1980s called the "Graying of America".. It addresses what will happen when the boomers reach age 65.

Moving thru the social structure like a "pig thru a python""

 

Wow.....why would anyone have chosen such a path? I can't think of anywhere else, besides turning around and teaching it to others, where that would be useful or in demand. What are people thinking?

I'm sure she's paying off some pretty good loans for that Masters too.

 

I don't get it either. The Navy is advertising here where I live and they're promoting STEM studies, you know, the things that help a person become successful.

 

How many STEM classes did Jesus Christ have?

 

They have grown up to be Liberal dumbasses. It's pretty sad to watch them. Fortunately, Gen Z, right after them find the Millennials to be total losers. They think they are weak and pathetic. Ask a group of 8th Graders about Millennials and it's quite funny. They think the whole Social Justice Movement is a joke and they like nothing more than to "Trigger" Millennials.

In time, these dopes will grow up a little and realize all the Liberal crap they were sold is nothing but bullshit.

 

As a carpenter he probably took quite a few. But being agnostic I don't really know.

 

"Rich parents"? The median wage has declined over the past 30 years. I agree with Iriemon on that observable fact, where I disagree is the idea that one government policy(Reagan) caused it(though it did contribute.) There were a host of factors, the biggest one we face is a lack of economic production as a whole.

In a country of 320 million, we only have 15% of our businesses operational! Think about that, only a handful of people are entrepreneurs and of that handful, a smaller percentage still is in the green! Our "economic system" is very simple: Work for money, give money to various corporations via "bills" and rinse, rise repeat. Under this system, is it no wonder that the money "trickled" to the top.

As long as this system of a lobsided economy exists, you could tax them to 100%, and the cycle still wouldn't be broken. Break the cycle, balance the economy and you'll get much higher production for everyone.

 

When I see what's going on these days on college campuses, I really question which is the bigger problem, kids not attending college & working for low wages or the kids attending Univ being taught rules for radicals.

 

awesome post !!!!!!!!

good find. this is another rw circle jerk bitch session thread

 

It is a circle jerk bitch session thread, but it's also a problem that younger people cannot get into the work force. This is an opportunity to highlight possible solutions. For example, a vastly upgraded public transit system is SORELY needed. I refuse to believe that Japan can achieve such a model, and we cannot.

The problem is that it should not be the sole responsibility of a state(California), and instead needs to be a National Project. That however means Congress, which currently is perhaps in its most ignorant form ever. Not a single meaningful piece of legislation since Trump's been inaugurated, they should be ashamed of themselves.

 

Um, they're retiring at a rate of 10,000 per day which is expected to continue for the next 19 years.

 

The problem for you is that Socrates is describing progressives perfectly.

 

Economics? That's racist.

 

Yeah, I have a very young son. He's going to get unconditional love, but not unconditional praise.

 

of course they are, a bunch of spoiled brats who have everything given to them make for terrible adults.

 

There's always the military.
Heck... not all that long ago, young adults went directly from high school to fighting Germans and Japanese.
But yeah -- having to work and go to school at the same time, I can see how that compares.

 

How is this possible? Obama left behind a perfect economy where everyone had the perfect career and road ponies to work.

 

Not really. Most Millenials had Boomer parents. I'm one of the older Gen Xers (born in 1965). My kids are Gen Z (which isn't their final name, just a placeholder). Millenials were born from about 1978 to about 1997. For me, that was age 13 to 32. Millennials born after about 1985 may be partly the Gen Xers fault, but mostly are the fault of the Boomers.

 

Yep, I'm a gen x'er and my three kids are millennials. 27,25, and 23 years old. All gainfully employed and homeowners. Well not my little girl she just flipped her place, and looking for the next.

 

I love the quote, but it seems to have been invented in the early 1900s, not written by Socrates.

I read this, and then said to myself, WTF?? Young people do get jobs. At least the ones prepared to get the jobs that are out there do. But then, the ones that I am personally familiar with all went to college, and received degrees with real world applications. We don't have a social studies major in the lot. So, they all got jobs just fine. What precludes many from entering the work force is their unnatural unwillingness to take on jobs that aren't starting them in 6 figure land. One of my nephews thumbed his nose at several sub 100K jobs until he actually found one willing to pay him, directly out of engineering school that kind of salary. It took him longer, but found it he did. But I do know from my own hiring experience the number of just out of school graduates who seem convinced that their unskilled unwashed skillset is way more valuable to an employer than they really are.

As for public transport, why? Why do these products of helicopter land require society to step in for their parents? Are they incapable of being self driving? I lived in Tokyo and I lived in Seoul. Ive endured (best possible word for this) the crush of population density reliant on public transportation. The simple question seems why? California now attempting to force folks towards public transportation just seems spiteful. The growth button should have been turned off there long ago. They have neither the water, nor the infrastructure, nor the land to support more growth. Time to call uncle while there isn't a rebellion...

As for middle America. Why? Maybe the real answer is ignoring cities. Relying on work from home more. Improving quality of life by not stacking ourselves so densely quality is forgotten.

 

A Quarter Of Millennials Living At Home Neither Work Nor Study

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-20/quarter-millennials-living-home-neither-work-nor-study

Explains why so many are violently protesting. I would be mad too if I lived at home and was an adult.

 

i am all for infrastructure work, just keep in mind, the money has to come from somewhere.

as to future employment, automation is going eliminate a good portion of the work now.

 

I think a lot of people post on forums from the office cubicles.
