In the spirit of We Buy Houses model, would you hire a millennial?

Are you a parent educating a 18 - 22 year old?

For me I dont know if my 2 children will do a "traditional" 4 yr private college, it depends on their drive and focus and ability to double major in finance - political science or something that is economically useful for work. Just my HO.

What do the readers of BP think? Millennials in trouble?

I am a millennial and a college drop out. Well, drop out may not be the correct term. I truly believe one is never too old to go to school. I'm sure I'll return some day. Not sure when.

Anyways, I took a break from school to take advantage of the boom going on in North Dakota. It's been going well, and I'm making more money than I would if I had graduated and took an entry level job. The point is, millennials will do just fine if they have the right attitude and are willing to adapt there lifestyle. I know many friends & family who are doing much worst than I am doing. The problem is, they aren't willing to change how they live.
