“Many millennials, in particular, are willing to take a chance and do something outside the box, without the “right” degree or experience or any guarantee of future success. They’re willing to start a business—a tech company, a nonprofit—with a couple of friends—or alone in their apartment. They’ve rejected the narrative that most boomers lived by—that you should go to school, get a job, work for the same company for thirty years, trust that the company will take care of you after retirement with a pension and possibly stock options. They’ve rejected that narrative because it doesn’t exist anymore, in most cases. Most of the millennials who expect that path are, in my opinion, the ones still living at home. Getting angry at “the man” for keeping them down. Waiting for someone else, the government most likely, to come in and save the day.” Big GovernmentMillenials Book:Taken for Granted: How Conservatism Can Win Back the Americans That Liberalism Failed Source: Taken for Granted: How Conservatism Can Win Back the Americans That Liberalism Failed
“These are the ones who reject or don’t take personal responsibility. Who get out of college, get their first job, and want to be the boss of the company the very same day. They’re twenty-five, have no experience beyond that one semester as an intern, but they want that corner office and $100K in year one.” MillenialsBaby BoomersPensions Book:Taken for Granted: How Conservatism Can Win Back the Americans That Liberalism Failed Source: Taken for Granted: How Conservatism Can Win Back the Americans That Liberalism Failed
