Millenials

Wow! This clip, regarding those in their late teens and early 20's, really shocked me. The way they presented this clip, it made it seem as though these teens, the millenials, depend entirely on their parents and have no clue what they are doing. They even went on to say that this new work force is like "extraterrestrials", and that we don't even know how to eat properly with a knife and fork.

This is a complete exaggeration. Sure, some of us may have always taken things for granted at an early age, and been rewarded just for participating. However, this belittles the fact that some of us also want to make it on our own, and unlike the video said, most of us DO find it awkward to still live with your parents after college. Many of us have had jobs by this point, and we don't have to be "coached" or "babysat" by our bosses. Some of us did take school seriously, and worked hard, and took AP classes, and earned scholarships, in an effort to find a job later on in life; not just a job that pays well, but rather a job in which we feel comfortable, and a job in which we enjoy what we are doing. This video makes our generation seem like lazy, dependent, and incapable people who don't know "how it is in the real world". Well here is what I believe: This may be true for SOME of us who always rely on our parents for everything, but it certainly does not apply to ALL of us.
