"Millenials are the worst generation ever"

To anyone who agrees with that statement, gently caress you. Why have we suddenly become the worst people in the world? Because we weren't drafted in some loving war? We went to your Iraq and Afghanistan wars too but instead all we got was a pat on the back and a crippled vet bill. We aren't brave? We don't do anything? At what point do you think fighting for gay, transsexual and equal rights is doing nothing? We aren't obsessed with ourselves. We're not staring at our phones, we're communicating with others. You think posting selfies is narcissistic? Try fellating yourself non stop 24/7 over how you or the generation before you was the "greatest generation ever". Jesus Christ is that ever the most pathetic thing. We aren't "antisocial". You're the people talking about renting some loving log cabin out in the middle of nowhere. How antisocial can you get? Generation X can kiss my rear end too. YOU did nothing. You found out how to steal music, at the most. You have literally accomplished nothing and are a generation of middlemen. Boomers can also go gently caress themselves but a little harder. You crashed the housing market and hosed the economy up and have the nerve to tell us that things were different back in your day but should also be the same when we're somehow finding difficulty with the job market.

tldr but your generation is responsible for the massive popularity of 1. social media and 2.the kardashians so in short if you had any self respect you'd put a bullet in your collective heads

You're conflating "being a lazy dickhead" with "being a millennial". While younger people may piss time away with social media more than older folk, there are just as many useless, grey-haired fuckwads burning company time with personal phone calls, smoke breaks, eBay watching, talking incessantly, etc. The stereotype of "millenials do nothing but gently caress around on their phones" is driven by old farts who notice behavior different from their own and ignore their own failings. Just do your job, worry about your own poo poo and if necessary, gently tell Lazycunt to leave you alone; it's not necessary to malign an entire generation.

We are the exact opposite of the typical helicopter parents, encouraging our kids to make their own choices. We have allowed our kids to make their own decisions for many years of their young adult years, but feel we might contact someone for advice at this time.

Our son just graduated from college a week ago. He has told us he wants to take a year off before getting into his career. He wants to work at a coffee shop instead, making just a little over minimum wage. He is moving out and sharing a place with friends, which we encourage. We are concerned about this delay in entering his chosen field (mechanical engineering and computer aided design). Our question is: How will a delay in entering the workforce in one’s chosen field after college affect a person’s job chances and career?

when you're entering the workplace as a STEMlord your interviewers typically have to ask some pretty technical questions to make sure you actually learned anything in school, technical stuff that really starts to fade after spending a year living with buddies, getting laid, getting high, and listening to nonstop bitching about The Man from a bunch of hippy baristos
