Analyzing the interesting article from Steven Rattnerhttp://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/02/opinion/sunday/were-making-life-too-hard-for-millennials.html?_r=0 , put me on reasoning for points:

  1. Earn Less: it is the combination of two factors: debt (to pay wealth for generation X, V, U, ...) and cost (usual economic proceeding but also wastes, wastes, wastes)
  2. Inability to Execute: Educate more by "formal" point of view: there are more bachelor degree. Because there are more easier study courses available and it is simpler to gain a degree. How about the absolute numbers ofdifficult university degree, like physics, maths, traditional engineering? There is no the same increment... but difficult study courses learn to "do things" not only speculative stuff. => Less Ability to Execute, in percentage
  3. Not Doing: the climate of mobility (traveling not enduring), service (using not owning), hand over (buying not making) has generated a mood of generalUncertainty. This is especially dangerous for english-speaking people. Because things (play, phone, drive, etc) are actions (play, phone, drive, etc). No stuff -> no actions -> not doing
  4. Not Producing: we are animals: we live breathing, drinking, eating and dressing up. Even if we tend to encourage "social infrastructure", we need to handle with vital stuff like air, water, (genuine) foods, dresses, etc. But the usual jobs is built around tertiary: documents, not products (there is China and India for these)
  5. Not Creating: there was a general climate of dissuasion from crafting and workmanship. People did not learn to "do by hands"; now they prefer to buy and build a kit, "pre-assembled" stuff
