The Millennial Generational Test

http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-rodriguez2-2009mar02,0,199145.column

Hyper-idividualism at its finest is what Gregory Rodriguez calls the Millennial generation. He paints a vivid picture of who we are and contrasts our generational test, surviving the current economic conditions, with that of the Greatest Generation, baby boomers and generation Y. I enjoyed his descriptive language that pokes fun at the "me-first" mentality of "the most educated and technologically savvy generation ever." What I really liked about this piece though is the research that he did to support his idea that yes, we will survive. He interviewed and included quotes from actual Millennials looking for jobs and included statistics and comments from specialists. He nicely balanced everything out with a sprinkling of his own opinion, which I think is crucial to this kind of writing.
