More millennials, notes a recent White House report, face far longer period of unemployment and suffer low rates of labor participation. More than 20 percent of people 18 to 34 live in poverty, up from 14 percent in 1980.
This is what happens when you grow up being told that you're a winner (even when you lose) and can do anything you want in life, sky is the limit.
No, the sky is not the limit. You have very real limits, along with very real strengths. You should take into account both when deciding on a career. You should also focus on a career that allows you to support yourself financially after school. You can't major in Androgynous Non-binary Leisure Studies, rack up $200k in student loans and then complain about the job market.
These people have no skills. They offer little to society. They're the people (on both sides of the aisle) protesting and acting like lunatics.
I don't feel bad for any of them.

The average millennial goes to state school and majors in something like communications, education, engineering, accounting, etc. The gender studies thing is such a rare example.

Sweet straw-man argument.

Sounds like an entire generation decided to not actually act like parents. Same generation that is running the country right now. And we wonder why we have problems.
