Despite the common misconceptions, members of the millennial generation aren’t only hard-working, but creative and innovative as well. However, as opposed to the capitalistic trait of glorifying working excruciatingly long hours, millennials believe in flexibility — it’s not about the amount of hours you put in, it’s what you do with those hours that counts. They believe in creativity, not just the amount of hours spent in the office, which is one of the reasons they aren’t afraid of diving headfirst and taking a risk that is "setting up shop."

No, they weren’t born with a silver spoon in their mouths, but they did grow up with phones in their hands. The older generations might just see that as "being glued to the phone" with nothing to show for it. But the savviness of this generation in terms of their knowledge of not only social media but actual jobs that wouldn’t exist without the internet, gives them the edge that is already starting to be recognized. Just take young entrepreneurs such as Mark Zuckerberg who has built an actual empire using his creativity and a laptop.

Yes, millennials know how to make money online, and whether their career will begin with setting up a blog, working as freelancers in fields such as digital design, content creation, copywriting, blogging, selling their photos, or filling out surveys is irrelevant.
