When it comes to jobs, University of Alabama at Birmingham points out that, "Millennials are usually drawn to more entrepreneurial endeavors, particularly when they can marry their passions with their careers." Paradoxically, Millennials are concerned they won't be able to capture the American Dream, but they don't want to do the practical work to do so. A practical job like accounting is primed to provide economic stability and growth. The demand for accountants will grow 11% by 2024. Accountants make a salary 130% higher that the national median average.
For Millennials, Hillary Clinton is akin to a job in accounting. More practical than the entrepreneurial alternative, yes, but not necessarily what they really want.
For her part, Hillary is smart. She knows Millennials are worried. She's telling them she'll help them capture the American dream. So this comes down to trust. Can Millennials trust her to do what she says? Her email scandal and her complicity with Wall Street bankers are chipping away at that trust.
As of writing this, the polls show that 5% of voters who are undecided could swing the election. Earlier, I talked about how Millennials' support for Hillary has dropped 6%. This 6% could make all the difference.
I predict Hillary will win, because she's running against the worst candidate in recent history. But if she could just make Millennials care more, my prediction wouldn't sound as much like I'm making a bet at a roulette table, and more like a sound judgment.
