I didn’t know millennials cried about living in NY or LA.
The ones I know moved to Portland, SF, Brooklyn... and were shocked that they couldn’t work in record stores and bicycle shops and afford a TV sitcom quality home or apartment.

Education, Business, History, Political Science, and English are all some of the easiest majors you can possibly get. Sure are a lot of those degrees on the Boomer side.
Millennial top 10 is filled with STEM.

Maybe digging a ditch or working on a pipeline would build some character and lessen the debt?

Oh I agree. But what about BR when any single apartment that’s not in the ghetto costs $700+ a month?

Anyone else shocked this (almost certain) boomer doesn't realize that millennials and gen z have less liberal arts majors compared to boomers and gen x?
It used to be that liberal arts was designed to develop a well rounded mind keen on critical thinking and foresight. That changed and now liberal arts are what we have today.
Another facet of society initially ruined by boomers but run off the fricking tracks by my generation

Well, they should get jobs. That would help.

They whine about the cost of living in an expensive borough and expect their 50k salary to adjust to them. Anyone else feel this way too?
We pay our college new hires around $80k.
They don’t complain that much. We give them a choice to move to a lower cost of living area. Most choose the higher cost of living area like DC or NYC over Harrisburg or Cleveland.

When you consider Chicken makes a living off people bitching about living in LA I don't think we should worry about other people complaining about where they live.
He does?

If I had the opportunity to do so in my 20s, I would have taken it in a heartbeat. I love NY, although I would have probably angled to get out of the city by the time I turned 30 and wanted to buy a home.
Unfortunately I graduated in 2009 and there were just no jobs.

I am technically a millennial and fricking loved living in west loop in Chicago. I could walk to Michelin rated restaurants and lived right next to a Whole Foods. I’m over 30 and earn 3-4 times the salary in the OP though.
The “under 26” group here is moving into south loop because it’s cheaper and gentrifying. It’s a pretty neat area and beats the hell out of most places.
You should not have sympathy for people that live in cool areas. They are having the time of their lives. You should try moving to a cool city like NY, San Francisco, or Chicago if you are single and young. Skip Los Angeles....it blows.

I’m almost in my 30s and wouldn’t want to buy a home just because of the commute
Unless you count a brownstone as a house

This board is filled with sad sack boomers who are upset that they’re stuck in places like Ascension Parish

80k is very doable in NYC
And I’m talking Manhattan. Not , Staten Island, Queens or the Bronx
