Millenial
xennial” wasn’t a word you heard all that often just a few years ago. Less and less often referred to as Generation Y, Millennials are the group of young people born between the early 1980s and the early 2000s. Sometimes referred to as the Echo Boomers, Millennials are the product of the spike in births during the ’80s and early ’90s that came about when Baby Boomers settled down to start families.
If you’re between 13 and 30, you can probably identify as a Millennial off the bat, because you exhibit a lot of the traits. It’s not an attitude thing or a hipster identity – it’s how you were raised. Millennials know the internet like a home country, they’re good with social media and they’re handy with computers. Millennials tend to lean toward liberal politics and have ambitious career goals, but nonetheless take a lot of grief for being slow to “realize their potential” out of college.
If you’re really not sure whether or not you classify as a Millennial, you can always take this handy test provided by the Pew Research Center. Via questions about how much TV you watched in the past 24 hours or how many texts you received yesterday, the Pew test can pretty accurately guess which generation you fall into.
But what does being a Millennial mean to you – especially when it comes to your career aspirations and finding a job?
The state of the Millennial
Your generation has already earned itself a bad rap in some circles, but don’t let that get you down. For every Time magazine cover calling you a “lazy, entitled narcissist,” there are plenty of employers out there willing to recognize your know-how and bring you on board for entry level jobs.
But it’s also true that the job market isn’t what it used to be. If you’re feeling frustrated, commiserate with Old Economy Steve, one of the most popular memes to make the rounds this recession. Student loans and endless job dead ends can be frustrating. But it’s not time to give up yet.
