Yup, this pretty much captures the essence of the millenials. |
Social commentary is a consistent theme on this blog. It stems from the fact that the industry is chock-full of young people, most of whom are millenials. The unrealistic expectations and poor professionalism married to a high level of independence and creativity is confounding at best.
So when I came across
this article, I had a read through it. It validates many of my suspicions and sadly does little to refute my problems with the millenials.

Here's the problem with each finding. I think it's implicit but the article doesn't go far enough.
1. Millenials blame the parents for the way they are. Sure. You can blame the parents. You can blame the world. But at what point does someone assume responsibility for their own actions, their own life, their own results? You're misunderstand? Bitch, please.
2. Millenials wanna be the wealthiest 1% of the population. And I want a pony. The thing we have in common is neither of us are working towards that goal.
