I worry a lot about the world my kids are growing up in, environmentally and politically. They are 12 and 8. The American Century is over, and a lot of blood will be shed to determine the eventual new world order. Throw climate change into the mix and the lack of a functional federal government in this country...it's scary and sad.

Not only did the majority of millennials graduate from high school or college when the financial crisis was at its worst,

What? Are they looking at a several year span for "when the financial crisis was at its worst?"

This. You can't make that claim and also say that millennials include people born in the early 80s.

Early 80s. I was born in 1982 and graduated college in 2003.

yeah, and i was born in 83 and graduated in 2006; pre 85 people are barely included in the window

My point is more that it's silly to think that someone born around the time you and I were has had the same experience as someone born in the mid-90s. Too many variables at play. The idea that a generation can span 16 years is just dumb.

 

[ImTheCaptain]

ok i guess I agree but if you graduated HS and tried to get a job and graduated from college and tried to get a job 2008-2010(12) you were probably running into the same buzzsaw

Pretty solid article that sums up my earlier point:

TL;DR - there are Old Millennials and Young Millennials

He's not incorrect. Being born in 1983 or 1990 or 1997 is very, very different from a technology standpoint and how we view the world.

 

[ImTheCaptain]

there are definitely two types of millennials
