I apologize up front, as a never respond to drivel like this, but as the father of a millennial, feel the need to respond.
I can't comment on the kids you see as potential new hires. You see who you see, but what you post is not reflective of a whole generation of kids.
I am very proud of my daughter. Despite having some personal difficulties, see graduated last spring from an honors college, and begins a new job as a civilian employee working for the Coast Guard next week. I have come to meet many of my daughter's friends at college and they are upstanding kids, who I have no doubt will make this country a better place. Does this mean that all millennials are hard-working, no, but that isn't any different than our generation either.
Regarding making health insurance available to children under 26, I think this is a great idea. My daughter was 23 when she graduated college. If I am paying extra to have her insured on my health insurance plan, why should you even care???
Oh, the horror of kids moving back home.
Thirty-six years ago, after I graduated college, I didn't have a job and moved back into my parents house. Even after I got a job I lived at home for another two years. Gotta tell ya, my Mom was sad when I moved out! Guess that makes me a freeloader (By the way, I have had a pretty successful career, went to grad school in the evenings, and have a great family myself).
My daughter will be following in her old man's footsteps. She will live with us for a couple of years while getting her career established and building her savings. Do you approve? Really, I don't care.
I don't think millennials (as a whole) have to figure anything out. Like any generation before them, they are a wide variety of individuals.

Drivel?
Congratulations on your Daughter getting her degree and getting a job with the guard. Now kick her out of the nest and let her learn to fly.
I'm not the only one out there that feels this way about this generation, just ask anyone with a business, they most likely will concur.
The issue with this generation is they feel a entitlement, possibly due to our generation's coddling, being too easy, giving too much to these kids.
These are the kids that had the Kardashians to look to as examples!
You may have guessed that I am not pleased with the 26 year limit on health care, you bet as a middle class citizen and with the affordable care act I dont really feel obligated to help them... they are adults.
I also noticed on MSN this am there is an article on the couple standing on a dock looking sad... poor Millennial's !
