Way too many addictions drive these people to desparation, and taking a resposible job, and being sober doesn't agree with them.
Look at the lengths that some corporations have had to resort to to attract/keep millenials.

Let me tell you about one of those "snowflakes" My 28 year old nephew worked at Fed-Ex. left for work every night @ 9:00PM and didn't get home until 6:00 AM. Never missed a day of work, snow, ice, anything, he was there. He started doing the YouTube video thing when he got home from work since he couldn't get to sleep right away. Was making maybe a couple hundred dollars quarterly. He did this for about 2 years, Fed-Ex and then YouTube. His quarterly checks from YouTube went from a few hundred dollars to @ $24,000 quarterly. He was/is pulling in @ $100,000 just from YouTube videos working 5-6 hour per day. He just left Fed-Ex a couple of months ago to dedicate himself to YouTube. His supervisor at Fed-Ex said he understands why he was leaving and told him if he ever wants to return, they will have a job for him. Just because some millennial is sitting home uploading videos on YouTube does not mean he's a lazy kid. This kid has worked his ass off and will probably be making close to $200K in another year or so. Oh, one more thing, he doesn't drink and is a very responsible person. So don't go lumping all these kids into one group of losers just because they don't do the 9-5 job. Times have changed and if you care look, you can make a living without getting "kicked in the azz"
