I know every generation says it about the younger generation but that doesn't mean that this time its not true. Our millennials are WAY BEHIND the young people from other countries. Baby Boomers and even Generation x did much better on the world stage than our current group. They lag behind in every category. Yes they are all "college educated" but skill and ability-wise they are way behind.
This current "Me Generation" will sustain the US place in the world. Read the link, it's sad really.
