Maybe when they can find and get jobs that actually pay them what they’re worth, that pay based on the years and years of schooling they went through and degrees earned, and that can pay according to the basic cost of living, THEN Gen Y-ers could live without “handouts” (though I’d call that supportive parents). Did you read ALL the statistics? Almost 40% of Generation Y is underemployed or lost their jobs. Why don’t you try being released into the working world in the midst of one of the worst economic down turns we’ve seen in years, and that with tens of thousands of dollars in student loans hanging over your head. As a Gen-Yer who has earned my degrees, suffered from job loss, underemployment, and is STILL not being paid what my degree and experience would say I deserve and am worth, I can proudly say I’m completely self-sufficient, I pay all my bills on time, and you know what? Sometimes I still only barely get by. So, hell yes I will take help, or as you call it “handouts” from my INCREDIBLY supportive parents when they offer.

Rosetta, I too am a so called “millennial”. I think that the whole 9-5 job tradition is already starting to become less common. If you think about it, there are now a lot of online blogs (like yours) where you can profit from people simply reading/visiting the page, people making applications on websites like facebook, people starting businesses or selling things online, etc., due to the lack of the 9-5 5 days a week jobs.
One thing I do find interesting in this is the concern about the high unemployment rate (rather, people not working) and a majority of those people are young people (may be because a lot of them are indeed too busy with school?)
Overall, great article. I appreciate reading your articles (recently started reading them today ). Keep up the good work.
