There are accumulating articles and videos on millennials these days. Some are positive, many are negative, but most of them conclude that we millennials are fickle. We are less likely to stay at a job long term, have short attention spans, and are entitled. But at the same time, millennials have also created some of the largest and best known companies around today. Have you heard of Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Airbnb, Dropbox, EventBrite, Lyft, Snapchat, or Stripe? All started by millennials. Many of these founders fit those stereotypes of millennials that are often perceived as negative. They quit their jobs after short stints or dropped out of school. But, who is to say this is a bad thing? Since when is trying to be happier a bad thing? Because of these so-called millennials rejecting the status-quo, we have products and services that have fundamentally changed daily living.
