Talk about contradictions , you don't want to work for someone else but with entrepreneurship aspirations of your own , it stands to reason that you expect someone to come for you right ? You're cute.

What would be wrong with aspiring to be an employer rather than an employee? Many people want to work for someone else, or are not entrepreneurially-minded or financially able to start and run their own business. Different strokes for different folks.

PP nowhere in my comment did I mention that it was wrong to aspire to be an employer. If you had the temerity to understand what I write you would've noticed that I was simply pointing out that not wanting to work for someone else cuts both ways .

For normal millenials its enterpanureship or tech in a landslide

Noone wants to be chained to a desk 9-5 marking time

Boomers can't figure this out and they wonder why they have a hard time attracting younger employees

None of what you said is backed by data . Millennials have one of the highest debt load of any generation in this country which makes entrepreneurship daunting if not downright an unattainable goal for many of them. Lenders ( at least the responsible ones) aren't prone to extending credit to people who are already leveraged to the max even before they hit their thirties . Add other factors like cost of living , taxes and you get the picture

Still haven't answered this, OP. It's impossible to answer your question if you don't provide criteria for comparison.

We're talking about top tier professions, not most common professions. In the US, most of those professions have been out of reach to a lot of people, hence why the rich keep getting richer. That doesn't mean entrepreneurship isn't a goal or something people look up to.

I also think it cuts both ways. For a lot of my peers and slightly younger people I know in DC, their early debts and witnessing a lot of chaos with the financial system early in their lives means they are a little skeptical of the whole system and also don't expect that it will pay off for them to just keep their head down and play by the rules. The benefits of working for someone else are less appealing when you've seen people lose their pensions, get laid off, etc. Sure, millennials generally might be putting off some life things because of their financial situation, but I also see a healthy skepticism about putting off some career goals. This is a big reason why people think they are entitled. I don't think it's entitlement, strictly speaking, but more of an attitude that they don't believe that the benefits of a long, traditional career path will be their for them, so why bother?

Ok so 50% of millenials are doing dead end service jobs

another 25% dropped out of college and are doing dead end meanial service jobs

for the 25% that is left noone wants to work 9-5 chained to a desk. I'm assuming you are a boomer

Do millennials still aspire to be celebrities or Youtubers?

If I were a millenial, I'd move to an agricultural area and become a beekeeper. Lease the hives and sell overpriced honey in artisanal craft jars the rough trendy "profressive" stores in big cities.

Not a boomer just a realist . The barriers to entry as it pertains to entrepreneurship are higher today than they've ever been . Millennials in their vast majority will sit at offices like prior generations , assuming that they're lucky to find long term Stable employment
