The down side of high self-esteem

As mentioned, both serious writers but especially the popular press regularly attack the Millennials. This is really nothing more than a typical older generation putting down a younger generation. This form of sour grapes has been going on since at least Socrates. Pay no attention to it. The Millennials are great. However, they are not perfect and one of the things that makes them great is also the primary fault line. The down side of high self-esteem and the Millennial generation is that they have an unnaturally good self-image.

• They don't take criticism or failure well.
  
• It is sometimes hard to find someone to do the little, less glamorous jobs.
  
• They expect praise for everything they do and acceptance of every idea they come up with (no matter how dumb).
  
• They have trouble getting and holding a job because the job is beneath them or their supervisor is a jerk that doesn't recognize their sterling qualities.
