fricking boomer profs too lazy to teach the basics amirite?
Nah, boomer profs kept from teaching the basics by:
A) the administration that wants to keep mom and dad happy (and dollars flowing) because
B) junior is a special snowflake and of course he's college material, so if he can't understand it, it's the professor and schools fault!!!!
We've sold two entire generations now on the lie that everyone needs to go to college. So as a result, college has been made to cater to the lowest common denominator. Therefore standards slip.

Couldn’t have anything to do with millions of nice paying factory jobs that don’t exist anymore. There is probably a trade off in standard of living.

Why is it a numbers game? The point is GenX has more experience than millenials, so they'll get to C-level before millenials will. I mean GenX is already there for the most part. Not many boomers left in the workforce.
The only thing that matters about numbers is there's more of you to compete for the top spots when GenX starts to retire in the next five to ten years.
You act like having a massive generation is a *good* thing for your job prospects.

I'd imagine boomers worked more than 20% harder than millennials too.

Over the past 100 years, Americans' mean IQ has been on a slow but steady climb. Between 1900 and 2012, it rose nearly 30 points, which means that the average person of 2012 had a higher IQ than 95 percent of the population had in 1900.
Incoming anecdotes from boomers and gen x about how their and all their friends would have scored higher on an IQ test than any millennial thry've met.
Oh yea and they don't even know their own IQ score. People had to be more intelligent to survive back then so they just know your statistics are false.

Meh.
The difference in population between Gen X and the Millennials is much much smaller than was the difference between the Boomers and Silent/Greatest so the idea that the Millennials are going to simply run the economy as they reach peak earning is a bit far fetched.
Not to mention that a significant percentage - those known as Xillennials (born 1980-1987) -more closely align with Gen X.

Now that we have your spelling deficiencies out of the way, are you claiming that having more people to compete for fewer job openings is an advantage?
Seriously?
I mean thanks for being the poster child for what I was saying about credentialed vs. educated I guess?

the olds always make these threads about themselves, or another person, instead of sticking to data. every single time.

Millennials over here using Excel, PowerBI, and Tableau while their boomer managers are using a slide ruler and typewriter.

Wait, there's fewer job openings now? Christ that was fast. Like an hour ago the argument was that employers are begging people to work for them.

So grade inflation doesn't exist in your world huh? So-called high school valedictorians that can't pass basic exit exams to graduate, that need extensive tutoring before taking 099-level college classes, that didn't develop basic study skills because they were allowed to slide on never being failed or held back.

Care to actually address what I posted? Or is your education level insufficient to do so?

You’re trying to compare failed urban public schools (which represent a small percentage of HS graduates) to the mean of the boomers.
HS dynamics have certainly changed but that doesn’t mean that the average HS valedictorian now is less equipped for college that the average valedictorian was 60 years ago.
And, really it’s not even worth comparing as HS during the boomers was preparing them for life in an industrial economy. The HS model hasn’t changed but the economy has meaning that the actual economic value of HS/college education today is much much less (and irrelevant) for the modern 20 year old.

There are also twice as many people competing for jobs today compared to pre-retirement baby boomer.
