Myth No. 1: Millennials are Young and Naive
When many people think about millennials they often picture someone in their early 20s: The newbie adult aimlessly wandering the streets of life in search of direction and purpose.

This is the most educated generation yet. 47 percent have a college degree, and 18 percent already have a graduate degree or PHD. In addition to that, 40 percent of millennials are already parents. As hard as many try to avoid adulthood, the reality is that millennial adults are projected to outnumber Baby-boomers this year in the U.S.
