Did you assume my species? I need to go to my safe place...
Seriously though many red flags with up and coming generations are rooted in societal issues. It's a multifaceted problem, but many can be solved in the home.
There are a good number of people from my generation that do not fall into the millennial stereotype. They go less noticed because they often are less engaged in the thousands of social media platforms than their more vocal counterparts, showing a bias toward the stereotype.
That said I think judging people based on their ability to turn a wrench may be oversimplifying. I would honestly judge based on their desire to understand and engage in these types of acitivities. Genuine disinterest is fine, but thinking you are above such work is problematic.
I would love nothing more than to have a project and get elbows deep in a build and cut my teeth on a project, but it's just not in the cards. Paying my way through graduate school and taking care of my small family takes precedence over such things, so I just bide my time and live vicariously through many of you guys on here.
