They were raised and educated by the government and believe in socialism or as I like to call it, mooching.
I feel I must defend my millenial, who, btw, is at home wiht us at the moment.
My daughter worked her tail off in HS to get college credits by taking honors classes. In college, she took the max of credits that she could in order to graduate early. She also worked as an RA, which helped with the college costs. She graduated in December, a semester sooner than her classmates.
I thought that since she graduated early she would get a jump on others of her age at a job opportunity. Well, the economy went ker-fluey, and this young woman could not find a job. She sent out over 400 resumes, got no response. After some months of searching, she decided to get a certificate that would allow her to teach English abroad, and she has been in Japan for the past 4 years, teaching English there.
She was on her way to Singapore to teach English; but, she became ill (enough so for hospitilazation) and her visa expired. Japan would not allow her to go to Singapore on an expired visa, even when she showed them proof that she was in the hospital and that is what prevented her from getting her visa renewed. They finally told her she could go home to her country of origin.
She is now home with us and looking into her options. My daughter wants to work. She doesn't want to live with mommy and daddy, she wants to work. My eldest daughter, another millenial, has worked steadily since getting her masters degree.
Not all of that generation fit into your generality. And, it is a hard job market out there right now. Hopefully, when BHO leaves and an adult with some understanding of economics will help to get our economy growing again, and new jobs being produced.
Also, my youngest daughter (the one who worked in Japan) is more of a Libertarian -- definitely not a socialist.
