There are lots of good paying jobs for millennials out of school. They are in IT and trades.

They require a real skill and proper training. The real letdown is the high school and universities not educating/training people on what skills they need to advance their lives, but becoming another business looking to make a profit by pushing as many people through at inflated prices, which puts a large % even further behind then when they started.

And then when people with 'useless' education can't find a job? Go spend more and get a master's in the same field! So 8 years later you have debt, no assets, and no real skills.

The system is broken from the bottom up, but IMO it starts with the school system and what people are spending their time and real $$ on learning. University has become 4 years of paid babysitting for people who don't want to enter the job market and live the high school life for 4 more years off borrowed money.
