[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So op you just listed it for the top 10% which hasn't changed in decades

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[/quote]

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 [/quote]

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?
