What? Since when is 18 years old too young to decide what your career focus should be?
If you treat 18 year olds like children that can't make decisions for their own lives, you're going to end up with 25 year olds who never learned how to make good decisions vs bad decisions.
Not make decisions for them, but provide them with guidance. If Sally wants to major in gender studies her parents should let her know that job opportunities are going to he limited and earning potential is not very high. They should encourage her to do something where she can provide for herself and a family in the future. Instead, parents of millennials told Sally (who's really a transgender boy) that she could be whatever she wants to be and follow her dreams.
The fact is the parents of millennials raised millennials to be the way they are. A lot of the dumb shite they do is their own fault, but humans aren't born thinking a certain way. They are taught how to behave and millennials were taught to be entitled and coddled because they were raised entitled and coddled by their parents who are going to have to work until they die because they didn't save anything for retirement.

A lot of people (from every generation) were raised by shitty parents who taught them virtually nothing. Many of these people grow up making bad decisions. This is just a sad part of life. Life is unfair in this way.
That said, no matter how shitty your parents were, no one owns you anything. Telling people that they aren't responsible for their bad decisions, isn't going to absolve them from the consequences of those bad decisions, nor is will it promote good decision-making.
