You keep running into this loving infuriating idea with millennials that their work needs to be amazing and they're just too good (or something) for doing many jobs. Sitting a desk and working (like a doctor, lawyer or engineer does) seems like some great failing.. you've got some lame desk job which is mundane and YAWN. Many aren't stupid enough to then follow up with 'so how do I become a fighter pilot/rockstar/astronaut' because they know that's actually out of reach.. but they still don't seem to make the connection that if they're not actually going to be a tennis pro then perhaps doing one of the 'lame mundane professions' is perhaps not quite so lame at all.

Truly, the problem with the job market is there aren't enough lawyers and kids who want to be lawyers.

As a millennial, I can't help it, obviously. Do you suppose your generation is what's causing you to talk out of your rear end and throw around insults instead of addressing my point or backing up your ludicrous claims? Anyway, OP, I had internships and did everything you're supposed to do in college, but I graduated in 2008, so sucked for me. After I got out, I was unemployed and then became a barista. It was bad and not fun, and I made very little money and had a gross housing situation. Then I got a job I has applied for that was decent, but "independent contractor" poo poo so no benefits. About a year later, I applied to a real job that was also baller and got that. Now I'm pretty comfortable, I have my own apartment in NYC, and I do some cool stuff at work. I was lucky that my rough times were more of a "paying your dues" early 20s thing and not more long-term like a lot of people.
