If you read it you will realize quickly that she is ready to blame everything else but herself.
Unfortunately she will be used by the media to portray the wrong picture of Millennials.
Whatever attributes she has - is hers and hers only. It could be due to parenting, it could be due to her environment, etc. But please do not use her as a picture of the average Millennial.
Together with student loans, sky-high house prices and employers wanting them to work for almost free, I understand that people in their twenties are down on the system.
I suspect I am a lot older than you, and I don't remember any period in which an entry-level customer service job paid enough money to support a roommate or relative-free apartment, much less in one of the most expensive cities on the planet.
I've lived in the Bay Area my entire life, and at her age, over ten years ago, I never had to live with less than 3 roommates. Things like saving for retirement, vacations, or emergencies were laughably impossible. And the kicker is: I made more than her, about double minimum wage ($15/hr, full-time with benefits, circa 2004). By no means should you assume I am complaining -- I didn't know anyone my age who wasn't in a similar situation.
Now I made nearly twice that, and I still have to choose between renting a room in a house with 5 other people, and being able to save money for retirement/etc by living at home.
The latest trend seems to expect that job applicants spend hours, days or weeks working for them for free before being hired. That's what probation time is for.
Unfortunately tech people are OK with being exploited. I don't see too many lawyers or MBAs working at minimum wage or working for free to "get exposure".
Some jobs pay more than others. Some jobs pay less than others. Unless you are arguing for completely equal pay then some people are going to have jobs that pay less than other people.
I see a lot of people in this thread suggesting (or at least hinting) that there was some mythical Golden Age in which a telephone jockey got paid something other than the tiniest pittance allowed by law and/or market forces.
That... is not the case.
Nice straw man.
