Good morning! Or if you’re like me, good insomnia driven 2:30 AM to you! My name is Clifton Wahlberg and I am an employed millennial, living, well maybe not “the” dream, but certainly “a” dream in the fast paced, lovely, insane, city of San Francisco. While the media and the olds may be of the mind that there are no employed millennials, and that we are largely SnapChat obsessed layabouts eating Cheetos in our parents basement, living in San Francisco has taught me that there’s more hustle and drive in my generation than anyone gives us credit for. This a city full of jobs that didn’t exist 5 years ago and companies that’ll rarely last longer than 5 years. If you want to survive here, you have to work your fingers to the bone and never stop moving.

At some point I decided that us working class youngsters haven’t been getting the recognition that we deserve, and that people should hear the stories of the next generation. And so, I present to you Employed Millennial. This blog will be a place for people to tell their stories, give out advice to aspiring young people, and find resources that hopefully help us keep chugging along.

Cheers, my fellow employees. Like this nice stock photo WordPress included in this post, hopefully we can stay above water and learn something in the process.
