so, I read this: "Almost one-quarter ...are working temporary or contract jobs..."  And then I read this: "21 per cent are working more than one job, and close to half are looking for a new job."  
And then I started thinking (uh-oh!) And here is what I thought: 

This describes my situation very accurately, back between spring, 2001 and fall, 2005.  Four very interesting years.  Except I'm not a millennial.  I'm a leading-edge boomer.  In the spring of 2001 I was 54 years old.  And I felt every day of my age, beatin' the street, dialing the phone, knocking on doors. Oh, and resumes, too.  But not so much--because all they did was accentuate my (old, old) age, and my (over qualified) status. 

So, while it's really tough for the young, the young have no lock on challenges, frustrations and set-backs. It is a SHARED experience, people, trust me!  

Me? Did OK. Multiple income streams. Saved $25,000 in that period. Millennials have one huge advantage over me: YOUTH and ENERGY. Wow...
