The underlying theme of the millennial generation is a sense of entitlement.
A lot of people live under the illusion that their college degree is an accurate indicator of their intelligence and entitles them to enormous sums of money. Well, gee? How is that supposed to work out for every one? Were you one of the smart guys back in primary school? Or where you merely one of the average students? Why do you think that with 24 years of age you should earn 100'000 a year?
And on the other end of the spectrum, if they don't have a degree many people (rightly?) ask themselves why they should work so hard for so little. There is no respect for manual labor any more. The dream that corporate America, Gossip Girl and MTV is one of fast money, selfishness and greed.
- mkr-hn 15y agoI keep hearing this, but I don't know anyone in my generation with a sense of entitlement. You can't expect someone to drive down to McDonalds and ask for a job right after graduating. But they will (and do) accept a worse job if it comes down to it.
- billswift 15y agoI don't think it is generational. I just turned 50 and have heard it, or something similar, every few years about the current "younger" generation (even back when I was part of the younger generation).
- mkr-hn 15y agoI guess it's standard filler like the "[some kind of clothing] is back" stories.
