If you are smart, motivated, and educated in something society wants, it is nearly impossible for a millennial not to eventually find a solid job.

the key is educated in something society wants. I have a 30 year old cousin who cannot find a decent job. She is wicked smart but a history degree is basically useless. She can find stuff but she is making less than her younger brother who didn't go to college.

I actually have very little sympathy for her situation, as she knew her degree wasn't going to get her a job 10 years ago but she continued pursuing it. And her parents are loaded.

But she is smart, and works hard, she just can't find a job that pays much more than min wage.

Is that the truth or is it that she's very picky in her selection? I find that statement very hard to believe.

There has to be some other issues with her to not find a job. Sounds like my nephew. Very smart kid. No college degree. Just wanted to hang out and become a teenager for life. Worked as a waiter until he was 35. No wife. No kids.

Then he found a job through his hobby. Video. Got a job with Keith Urban. Did work on the movie "Oh God, Where Art Thou". Doing very well now with his own Country/Western studio.

He was an avowed Marxist all his life. Then when he started earning big money at 45 he changed his philosophy when he discovered something called INCOME TAX.
