Re: Infantilization of an entire generation

In a way, as in overprotected a lot. But then, the world is different. In general, I mostly thing millennials have been screwed over. They're the generation that got born into a prosperous age, and still remember it from their childhood, but grew up into an economical crisis.

Exactly. And even the older adults keep telling us rules that applied in the 90's, but don't anymore. Like, "you can't expect to have a high position the moment you get a job." That's not the issue. The issue is that that's who they are hiring. Upper hands with ten years of experience. Not rookies.

At the same time, I think we were definitely a bit overprotected, and that hasn't helped. There's people I work with who really don't understand that they're expected to actually do their jobs. I think 1950's and 60's parents were really strict, so ours went easy on us, except maybe a little too easy. So there s a point to be made there.

I think mostly it's just a really unfortunate combination. I mean, you have a generation that's been told the sky is the limit, who have been brought up in relative comfort, who are having a (genuinely) really shitty time out there in the real world.

I know for my parents, no they didn't have it easy - but basically a college degree did mean you could work in the sector you chose (my mom's a working musician ffs, well music teacher by now, but still). I would not say I wasn't brought up with a work ethic though (but my parents were a bit older than those of my peers, and immigrants, so that might explain it).
