Why Are Almost All Millennial Experts Old?

by Paul Legan on November 24, 2008

Does it bother anyone else that nearly every article on millennials is written by someone much older?  Do you see articles on baby boomers written by 18 year olds?  I don’t.  So how do you become an expert on a generation that wasn’t even around – or at least “classified” – when you were an undergrad?

Obviously I’m not talking about every article – many articles are well-written.  I guess I just wonder how someone gets to be an authority on something such as “millennials in the workplace”.
