5 Comics That Reveal What People Think Millennials Are Like Vs What They’re Actually Like
Many people think of millennials as spoiled kids who were born into privilege and have every opportunity handed to them on a plate, but as you can see from these perceptive and thought-provoking comics by Karina Farek for CollegeHumor, that's simply not the case. The truth is that many millennials face just as many problems as the rest of us, from struggling to find employment in an increasingly competitive job market to trying to earn enough money to pay the rent each month. Do these comics resonate with you? Then let us know in the comments below!

Only 5 comics? And we should be impressed? Typical millennial... :-P
Calm down, guys. I'm pretty sure the comment was a joke. Look - there's even a smiley at the end. :-D

"Lazy millennial bowl-haters may be hurting big cereal's bottom line" "Why Aren't Millennials Buying Diamonds, The Economist Asks" ("because we're already struggling with crippling debt and ridiculous wages when we get out of school," answer the millennials)

Sometimes it is. For example, people who grew in 50's and 60's wonder why student's loan is so big of a problem and ask whether students do get a odd job to collect the money for their tuition, unaware that in the last 40 years, tuition costs increased fivefold and it usually in the ballpark of an average wage (i.e. to support himself, a prospective student should have not a gig at serving tables, but an average full-time professional job). Positions requiring high skills are already manned by people who graduated 20 years ago, and simple job that could act as springboard have been already outsourced abroad. None of this were order of the day back then, when India was still a British colony and China was enigmatic commieland, so there was plenty of jobs around. Times change, and politicians are rarely ready for this.
