I remember my high school teacher telling us that millennials would change the way the world works, that companies would look to please us. If you’re a millennial, you’re probably rolling your eyes. You know what’s really going on and the millennial problems we face.
Older generations may have thought that millennials would be the generation that gets it all. In reality, we’re the ones losing out the most.
At our age, our parents, were working, buying a home, getting married—not us. Instead, we’re still trying to figure out if we can afford Beyoncé concert tickets. Truth.
We’re the largest generation. You’d think that since we’re the largest generation, the world would be geared to making us happy, but that’s not the case.
# We’re too smartCompared to older generations, like the baby boomers, millennials are actually the most educated generation walking this earth. But that comes with a price. Since most millennials have a university degree, there are more educated workers available than needed.
# We can’t afford to move outYou probably heard the stories of your parents moving out when they were eighteen and getting a full-time job but those stories are a thing of the past. Now, we don’t live at home because we want to, we live at home because we have no other options. Sounds fun, right?
# We’re all depressed or anxiousDoesn’t this generation sound fun? Well, if you’re reading this list then you already know why we’re depressed and anxious. The world isn’t looking too bright for us, yet, we still have the same responsibilities as our parents, just without jobs or a roof above our heads.
It’s not a quarter-life crisis, it’s just the realization that our timelines aren’t the same as other generations.
# We’re unemployedI’m not talking about part-time jobs. When it comes down to unemployment rates, the highest generation of unemployment are millennials. Though we may want a job, the fact is, baby boomers are holding onto their positions until they croak. You can retire now! Please!
# We’re obsessed with success
Well, now since I found out you can make money by selling Detox Tea on Instagram, how can I not be obsessed with the thought of success. Millennials have been taught that they can succeed if they work hard, and that’s the problem. Hard work doesn’t mean you’ll be successful.
# We love our student loansMost of us went to university because our parents strongly nudged us to, and now, we’re up to our necks in student loans. Oh, and we’re either unemployed or working part-time at a coffee shop. None of us would care if we had a well-paying job, oh, yeah, about that.
