The Top 5 Reasons Why Millennials Will Save Us All

4. They’re educated

Millennials enroll in college programs far more than any preceding generation, despite the fact that the cost of a bachelor’s degree has risen 146% since 1986. With incredible advancements in technology, it’s a given that kids in high school today (the youngest Millennials) will be taking college classes that don’t exist yet, for jobs that are unimaginable today, but that will be critical tomorrow. They will need to be educated to respond to the complex issues that will be kicked down the road for them to handle. It’s not little conveniences or small apps for our smartphones that we’ll need in the future. We’re going to need an energy source beyond fossil fuels, a way to handle an exponential population growth, the wisdom to work in a more globally-connected and smaller world, and new breakthroughs beyond antibiotics, just to name a few. Often called the “smartest generation,” the Millennials will need to know deal with issues that have an impact on the entire planet.
