I agree with Camilo. The Millennials that I have worked with are just head and shoulders above every other generation that I have lived amongst. These young people have been handed a broken environment (with horrific prospects), a busted economy, expensive education (where we all had near-free universities) and, worst of all, terrifying STDs. What do they do? Many of the ones I know have taught themselves to program computers, learned several foreign languages, become incredibly knowledgeable about history and somehow manage to work more hours than I ever would have at their age. The best part is that they have enormous ability to work in community settings, largely because they are the least selfish generation we've had in a long time. It looks like al they need is for us oldsters to get out of the way.
