I think the media is responsible for so much of this. They try to work people up into a lather all in the name Iof getting more clicks and likes.

In fact, by putting people into generations (with arbitrarily drawn borders), those who write articles contribute to this. Whenever I face such a border, I try to think of those on both sides as people. It sometimes takes some effort, particularly if I do not share popular opinions, but it is worth it.

Spare a thought for us baby boomers . I am 55 with a great CV. Have no chance against people 20 years younger with similar experience

Can someone define a "baby boomer" please. In the UK we are the generation born in the 1950's and 1960's after WW2. Population explosion which made many schools have to erect temporary classrooms because they could not cope with all the children. I dont have a clue what "Millenials" are - nor "Generation X"

And here we have a Boomer doing exactly what this article is talking about. Instead of apologizing and admitting to f*****g up so badly she says " why can't we all get along" Yvonne until boomers start changing their evil ways we can never get along and millennials will do everything in our power to change the world so much that boomers end up some confused they just break down and cry. Then boomers might have an idea of just how badly they f****d up. The sad thing is, even having f****d s**t up, if they at least acted with a tinge ogoral compass millennials would be willing to help them out, because that's who we are. But boomers are so hateful they refused to help us when we needed it. F**k boomers and their evil asses.

and you need to aged 18 with all of those qualifications.

*For. Darn my fat fingers.

Sorry that you have that problem. S****y. Unfortunately there is the issue of being considered over qualified and there are various reasons why people consider it an issue - a) you'll leave at the best opportunity (who wouldn't) b) ego/fear (who wants to have someone better qualified in a junior role itching to get your job) c) perpetual student syndrome - getting qualifications instead of getting a job (seemed easier option/fear of the unknown) d) no experience so they'll have to be babied into the real world. These are NOT my own opinions - just some of the c**p you come up against. Genuinely - good luck.

when the job notice says "must have 20 years' experience. Must be no older than 25.", my head wants to explode. "Entry level, degrees preferred, bilingual preferred, must be heavily experienced"....figure out something you can do well, and start your own company. The you get to be the bad guy hiring the help.

I hate job ads with superlatives: 'Wanted - Rock-Star, Amazing, Genius Person...' Pardon me - I'm just human...

what kind of jobs are u lookign for that requires such degrees but pays min wage, May I ask?

May I ask what area is that?
