Two-thirds of millennials not happy with their lives

As many as two thirds of millennials indicate that they are not happy with their life right now. Also, 40% say they are out of place when it comes to their job and 35% are not sure. If millennials could choose again what education they would do, half say they would like to choose another study. 30% of the group has already worked, studied or traveled abroad for a longer period of time and 60% would like to do so again. In short, the Dutch millennial is quite uncertain in life. This is apparent from Monsterboard's Thirties Dilemma Test, in which more than 2000 millennials took part.

Millennials regularly feel that people around them enjoy their lives and work more because they have made certain choices. Also, more than half of millennials say that they regularly (29%) or sometimes (26%) feel that they miss things because of their friends' posts on social media.

Being in a relationship doesn't make them miss things in life for the majority of millennials, 35% (14% no, 21% sometimes) say they feel they are missing opportunities or things because of their relationship. No fewer than 64% of them sometimes wonder if this is all.
