I heard if you score a 100 percent on it Goldman Sachs calls you up and gives you a 1000k job!

I got a 1.0 and it said I scored above 10% of America, presumably those 0.0s are the millennials. Also, not only are the right answers really obvious, the questions literally alternate between "all the time" being best/worst

The point of this article is to generate clicks and ad views. Millenial vs Boomer is a huge sensitive topic that gets the blood boiling so you'll click on the article and view the ads. CNN doesn't give a poo poo about millenials or boomers. We are just consumers to them, nothing more. Hmmm I wonder what all the retirees are doing in their spare time? (Reading the internet) Makes sense to target them and make them feel good so they can squeeze that last dollar out of their body before rigor mortis sets in

To be fair to boomers, they were also ill-equipped to handle the awful circumstances resulting from decades of their parents' selfish, short-sighted decisions and the first group handed a MAD based system of world politics, and they did a slightly better job

A ton of dumb rear end millenials continually go into major debt to get worthless degrees that qualify them for 0 jobs. Members of older generations that were stupid enough to do that had way more decently paying jobs to fall back on, and the debt wasn't as severe. People will continue to focus on the fact that older generations were punished less harshly for their mistakes, rather than that people continue to make the same mistakes.

When my dad when to uni he got a degree in mathematics for free and it qualified him to do exactly one thing - teach. He did that for a record two weeks before quitting and working in IT instead. If he did that today he'd have $60k+ worth of debt to work off and good luck getting a job in IT in your mid-20s with no experience and no real qualification.

What generation in the USA has paid more for education and gotten less in wages for the work? Gilded Age industrial factory kids? poo poo at least they weren't in debt. The insistence of the older generation that things are just the same as they have always been is a huge part of the problem imo. Stick your fingers in your ears and yell 'neener neener' some more.

If you are relying on 16 year olds to make intelligent decisions as a fundamental part of your education process then I think that's stupid as hell. Since you apply for colleges Jr. year and all. But yeah the issue isn't that we allow kids to go into major debt for degrees we all know are worthless. It's just that millenials are stoopid haha.
