Unsurprisingly, a LinkedIn survey of 2,000 millennials shared by Moneyish found that 72% of young professionals ages 25 to 33 said they’ve been through a quarter-life crisis, or a period of self doubt and insecurity causing them to question their life choices, relationships and career paths.
The main factors people grappled with were finding a job they’re passionate about (57%) and the pressure to buy property (57%). Both priorities were much higher than finding love (46%), which is much easier today thanks to the advent of online dating. Women (61%) in particular are more likely to be unsure of what their next career move is compared to 56% of men.
Millennials tend to face excessive uncertainty in their career trajectory, question their life choices and have a difficult time staying present in the moment mainly because they don’t have a lot of real-life experience, Dr. Gail Saltz, a psychiatrist and the author of The Power of Different: The Link Between Disorder and Genius, told Moneyish.
The survey also found that 31% of people felt they had wasted years in the wrong job while 34% had relocated to another part of the country or abroad and 35% reportedly changed their career entirely.
One reason why millennials feel stressed is because they have unreasonably high expectations (i.e. they expect to have a similar standard of living to their parents, or even a better one).
To help curb feelings of anxiety, Saltz recommends that millennials practice gratitude, learn to lower their expectations and recognize that success isn’t instant and that building a respectable and solid career takes work.
Or, of course, they could also consider getting a sugar daddy.
I'm so sorry Snowflakes! STFU! If you are too flaky to vote & change things. Ignorance & tender sensibilities aren't virtues. It's on you now,assholes. Make sure you vote R & D just like the brainwashed Boomers.
"Millennials have surpassed Baby Boomers as the nation’s largest living generation, "
"And Generation X (ages 35-50 in 2015) is projected to pass the Boomers in population by 2028."
