Education was a major casualty of the pandemic that gets ignored, of course students have routinely been screwed throughout history because they don't have a voice. That said every generation gets screwed by the real world at some point. For millenials it was the 2008 financial crisis. My sister graduated college that year and the labor market was just brutal. As unceremonious an initiation as it gets. As for opportunities, the world is changing. The America that boomers built is dying, meanwhile tech and social media corrupts everything else. I wish I had advice for young people, but I'm at a loss as well and can only rant. My only hopeful prediction is that in the future we'll see a cultural rejection of the abundance and noise we have created and return to sincerity, intimacy, and a rediscovery of the great things of our past.
