My take on this article reblogged by Dr Alf  is that the millennials sensibly trust themselves and possibly their parents if they live in Southern Europe.

The millennials do not believe that the jobs are coming back any more than they believe in politicians, the media and academics, who peddle bright futures in exchange for study and qualifications.

Dr Alf asks what they should do, apart from learning useful languages, the answer is develop a portfolio of transferable skills and linear income streams. This is because 50% of the jobs will disappear in 20 years through AI, robotics, automation, 3D printing and other technologies.

The challenge for Europe’s millennials is most acute in Southern Europe but will equally apply in Northern Europe, especially the UK and Germany‘s millennials will not be spared.
