It’s true, it’s never been a better time to be a builder. The problem is that most millennials were misled by ignorant adults. They didn’t realize that the grand bargain of going to college to get a “good job” had changed. Millennials found themselves in massive debt without prospects, and found themselves unable to function as independent adults.
People still look at me strangely when I suggest that they avoid university and the waste of time and money.
Better to learn to build instead. The resources online are practically free. Find a company that will hire you as an intern. Make money while you learn. You just need to be a self-motivated person.
