Kids These Days: Human Capital and the Making of Millennials by Malcolm Harris
5.0
This book is a must read for any Millennial, if for nothing else than a brief overview of all the ways our generation is uniquely challenged by hardships and levels of competition our parents never had to face. From the pervasive, crushing burden of student debt, to the ubiquity of unpaid internships, the dearth of good, well paying jobs, and the almost nonexistence of things like job security and upward mobility, Millennials have it rough in many ways. This book is an excellent starting point for looking in to and combating those issues, it's great as an introduction but by no means should it be that only volume you read on any of these subjects, instead use it as a tutorial to get you thinking about the issues of exam oriented education, rabidly competitive job market and exploited "student athletes".
