That's a paid position now...

Wow! I thought I was a slacker, but it's nice to see professionals at, um, work.

Head Slacker, Chief Whining Officer, Zero Skills Quality Inspector.

I got 2 in college now I'm supporting and their future scares me. From what I've seen and heard unless you are in the medical field, a computer expert or maybe graduating law school there's not a lot of promising jobs out there. Wish they had gone into the military or maybe even a trade school, but physical labor is another world for the kids today and yes I'm part of the problem for allowing them to become slackers when it comes to work.

About 30 or 40 years of being taught, if you don't go to college you'll be a bum, in our school systems is coming home to roost. The trade unions regularly look for apprentices here, a good union plumber or pipe fitter can make at least $150,000 a year if you bust tail and work OT.
I heard a comment somewhere about how the Flintstones cartoon would never be made today, a lot of kids couldn't relate to the blue collar work Fred and Barney did.

Somewhere, yeah..

Don't rule it out. Every generation left their offspring in better shape until now. Millenial's learned that behavior from somewhere.

...but not in my home.

If it wern't true to one degree or another, it would be even funnier than it is...
Come on folks, get involved, give until it hurts..

Give until it hurts? It hurts just watching this! I'm gonna clean out and make room in my shed first thing in the morning for 5 or 6 of them!

For purposes of humor, "An Interview With a Millenial", there are too many millenials who fit this pattern, but I have worked with many solid young folks:

She looks familiar?? Is she some actor??

"...instead of getting a soccer ball, he's getting an Audi."

The only thing missing from this is the whiny Sarah McLachlan music.

And yes, they need to get off my lawn. The basement is right out.

Just spoke with my brother today. He has been supporting his 21 YO daughter, her new baby, and her husband who has a menial low-paying job. He has been doing this for nearly a year and a half. The couple live in a 750 SF house in Seattle which has a monthly rent of $2500 and can't afford rent or food. Husband refuses to leave Seattle because his family is there. I keep telling him that he is doing nothing but enabling them, and that he should tell the husband to either get out and find another job somewhere else where the cost of living is much less, or else hit up his family for money and that his father-in-law's bank is closed. But he doesn't feel inclined to do that. So he may be saddled with them for the rest of his life.

No job, no marketable skills, degrees in the arts instead of something useful that'll bring in an income.

Oh.... how true!

Now if I could find someone to sponsor my lifestyle

Mother nature usually ends up weeding out the slow and weak. Might still be a chance of fixing things.

Degree in something useless and lots of student debt, and this seemed like a good plan?

My millenial just started his mechanical engineering career this month. I think he will turn out alright.
