As a millennial, I feel like if I were not in a technology field, I would be screwed. But as it stands, I bust my ass doing what I love, and society happens to value the work I love to do. It would be comforting for me to attribute my good fortune to being a badass or super talented, but I know that my chosen field is just highly valued. I know some people who have followed their dreams and it has led them straight into the poor house doing years of unpaid internships all for a job that is rare, but still only one or two steps above minimum wage. But I do think there's an attitude and professionalism problem. The term "funemployed", the way beards, tattoos, and casual drug use are coming back in style. The oversharing. And the fact that somehow the generation that grew up with computers still has way too many people on the wrong side of the digital divide.
