Unemployed Millennial + Parents Q&A

[@chinchinamar9157]

Hearing a dad say, "I think you've done everything you need to do." Is so comforting and reassuring. Knowing that someone acknowledges that you've done enough so far feels so good, especially coming from someone close to your heart.

[@ZoeysMusings]

Your dad is so in tune with what's happening in the world and how it impacts millennials and I appreciate that.

[@SamanthaKayla]

I love how your dad recognizes that things are different from when he was young because I've had so many arguments about that fact. Love your parents

[@thriftyfashionation3321]

💯💯💯

[@gabriellegavi9002]

This!!!!

[@valeria-militiamessalina5672]

He is being filmed… so..take that with a grain of salt.

[@livv3905]

Yea she got chill parents

[@meghanwilcox5453]

And sometimes that’s all we want, is for the older generations to understand how hard it is for us. Most of us have experienced the recession of 2008 and now a pandemic/recession.

[@caramela4830]

What an great father. He needs his own channel to offer words of wisdom to all millennials.

[@chimene3293]

I’m in the exact same position as you. I’m a ‘96 baby, graduated from college, currently unemployed, and living with my parents. I realized after college that I want a serious career in music, so that means taking a different route than what I majored in. I’m so happy you made this video because it makes me realize there are so many of us out there. Luckily, my parents are extremely understanding too. I pay for everything myself so I know that helps. It also helps me feel more independent and better about myself haha. Your parents are exactly like mine too! Dad very outspoken about living out my dreams while mom wants me to be happy lol. Thank you so much for this! It’s a perfect reflection of my family dynamic and current situation ❤️💜 you don’t know how much I needed to see this!

[@annemariechase]

Aww this is seriously such a nice comment to read! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video and to write this! Seriously means a lot xx

[@jacob__macias]

love your dad annemarie, he's very straight forward, doesn't come off as rude, he says what needs to be said and thinks logically. Great Man.

[@MegaDoritoman]

I love your dad. Definitely not like other boomers. Not only is he open minded but he understands the world’s current circumstances and doesn’t compare himself to how things used to be and what he had done at your age. If I’m lucky to become a father I’ll strive to be as understandable as he is.

[@TravisGarnett]

@MegaDoritoman: With commentary like that, you're well on your way...👊🙂

[@thetruthsayer8347]

It’s his daughter. He has no choice lol

[@katemiller7874]

He’s not even a boomer. Lol

[@CA2SD]

Your dad is very articulate and in touch with what’s going on. I was hoping to hear your mom more. She has a pretty voice, you are extremely blessed.

[@relaxingbibleverses4609]

Who else is an unemployed millennial?! This is so relatable. Also, my parents rag on me for not having a house and kids like they had at my age and I'm just like, lol ok so I went to college and worked for 5 years and now the pandemic. Literally did everything "society" told me to do and still... our generation is struggling.

[@floralbeautyful]

girl, I feel you. although its a shitty situation, I'm so glad there are people who we can talk to and relate to about this.

[@aricarly]

I'm an unemployed zillennial. I guess my parents are understanding as my mom finished her uni at my age, and my dad at 27. My dad lived with his parents until after I was born (and he was 36)... and they have pretty good lives compared to most of their peers, despite being "slow". So, me being "slow" hasn't really bothered my mom at all, my dad was a little more strict at first because he wanted me to do better than him in life, but I guess I'm going on a similar path haha.

[@hereiam1041]

Same

[@krn.cvlogs6053]

feel you in the same situation but my parents says you have everything now and you have us why do you want to move out so badly even though i can’t but then they’re sometimes like when will you they switch all the time

[@relaxingbibleverses4609]

@t 100%! Grateful we can get through this together 💞

[@ryanlowder7764]

You and your parents are so genuine! This video was refreshing to see! I just lost my Dad in March and he loved me enough to believe in me and my Mom was supportive of my dreams and has faith in me too. I have failed many times but my Dad and I had a talk on his death bed and when he told me that he admired me and was proud of everything I’ve done that was validation that my non traditional route was what I should’ve done for me. He was a successful man and at 53 he lost everything he had due to medication induced brain damage. He truly lived his life from 53 to 67 (when he passed). He enjoyed life and quit being money driven and our lives became so much happier after the greed of all of us was taken out of the equation!!! Sorry for such a long comment but it was just a long way of saying I adore you guys after only one truly honest video! Your love and connection with your parents is beautiful!!!!

[@relaxingbibleverses4609]

Also, shoutout to all the millennials who are the sons and daughters of immigrants and feel like we failed them when in truth so many circumstances changed and the system screwed us all into debt 🤡

[@Movieman1965]

It's amazing how as we get older we think more about how our lives progressed and learn to be more careful with our decisions moving forward. When you are young you see a giant world of possibilities and opportunities . Over time we become what we were able to be successful in achieving as life presented the forks in the road, the changes in direction, the unexpected world events, the relationships that took us to different places, the jobs that didn't stick. But hopefully with a little luck we end up where we want to be. Your parents said a lot of great things from their experiences. Have a great day!

[@johnsmithsbasement]

Your dad should start a youtube channel, he seems like a good guy.

[@saveangelsmind]

Your dads mindset it’s so good!

[@abbeysnails]

This is great. I wish I had the courage to ask my parents if they're disappointed in me. I think it would decrease my stress levels if I just hear their point of view of watching me apply for work and doing small work. I graduated end of 2018. Had a job and was laid off beginning of the pandemic. It sucks to think of possibility of being unemployed for almost 2 years. I know there are up and down days, but keep your head up! Your parents are wonderful and supportive, just like mine. I know something good will come your way. Things are rough at the moment but things will get better. ❤

[@liliiaag25]

I can listen to your dad talk forever honestly , and ur mom is so cute she seems like such a happy person

[@f1dog]

Ya, it's so tough to find a great job. I graduated from USC as well and struggled for many years to find anything that paid well and was never offered a job anywhere close to what I majored in (marketing). I eventually took online coding courses at MIT and worked my way into a tech company in a non manager role, but it was a struggle and still not sure if the company will survive. It wasn't a Big 4 even though I tried many times to get a job at Apple and Amazon too. After graduating, I went into working for Uber, being a part time office assistant, being a valet, and carrying skis at a hotel, ect. Stay positive and fight on!

[@rcallenjr]

the struggle is good. you will look back at the struggle and realize that it helped you grow

[@hibak6857]

What jobs were you looking for in marketing and what tech jobs do you do know just curious since I’m also majoring in marketing and really worried

[@TechVHD]

Major in marketing? Usc does not have a marketing major only business admin general from marshall?

[@user-hm6fn3mh9k]

I love how your dad the boomer understands the hardships that millenials go through. Other boomers just think millenials are entitled and don't try hard enough.

[@EvanWilliamG]

Really enjoy your parents. They seem like genuine people. Your dad is wise and you can tell their relationship is great by the way your mother listens to your father.

[@EvanWilliamG]

Or the way they seem to listen to each other **

[@whsung]

A lot of respect for your parents! They are very understanding and awesome~

[@karthikadevi6161]

You and ur dad should do a podcast!! I feel we can learn a lot from him

[@Emilyghe]

Yes need a medical podcast

[@Mymeromero]

I would love life advice like this video in the form of a podcast omg

[@Maria_farah]

I'm kind of thinking we should have more videos in your dad. he's a legend.

[@Snowyness]

Your parents are awesome! Dad is super smart and mom is very nurturing.

[@lebawityoseph4982]

Your father has so much wisdom😥 We need more of him in YT

[@fdoctor79]

Before the conversation, I knew Dad served in the military. Great questions and responses. Godspeed and continued success with your endeavors! Tfs

[@starfirechik]

It must be nice having a good family dynamic. Not a lot of us children of immigrants parents have that priviledge. My parents spent most of their time working to put food on the table, and unfortunately it is the same for me but I am trying to make it in this generation and I have never had the priviledge of being "unemployed". As soon as I was 18 I was living on my own, but I can't say I regret how I was raised. I'm independent and I don't depend on others to make it, every inconvinience that may be huge to others is a piece of cake to me, I work on it and move on. Not to sound bitter, I do admire people who actually grow up in a family and have that sense of security of depending on your parents. I think as long as the parents don't mind it it's great. But also taking into account that some parents do want to be on their own after spending YEARS of raising children from diapers to college degrees, it's exhausting and the time and effort should be rewarded as children get older and CAN give back.

[@iLov3makeupx]

ok but this video gave me the emotional reassurance that my parents don't really give me so thank you I feel somewhat better that I'm not alone and that one day it'll all work out :))

[@swan1336]

Same.

[@laurasclayentries]

as an unemployed 1998 baby i love how supportive your dad is 🥰 proud of you and can't wait to see your channel grow!

[@Movieman1965]

Definitely Paralysis of Analysis can put you on hold and never move forward. Gotta make a firm decision and execute. Stay with it and see it through. If it didn't pan out then reorganize and formulate a new plan. But yeah keep moving forward.

[@DmoneyenomD]

The money vs purpose topic you guys had around the 11:45 minute mark makes me think of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs! Having money covers the basics and allows you to pursue meaning, purpose, etc.

[@SeaFlower38]

Good vibes all around in this family. Loved it. You definitely have really great parents that love you very much.

[@skyestinson6499]

"When I was your age I had a house" ... me at 27 looking at the housing market skyrocket x.x

[@ruhimaniyar5539]

absolutely loved this conversation!!! It was so honest and real and I love how your parents respect you doing your own thing!

[@Emilyghe]

Yes! More family content plz

[@SamElle]

im lowkey obsessed with your parents, WOULD LOVE ANOTHER VID WITH THEM

[@GreenSemester]

Young people around the world had such a challenging time this last year and a half. Thank you for creating this video. It demonstrates how to be a supporting parent in a changing world.

[@FeliciaFalconer]

I'm in the same boat as you right now and it was nice hearing this conversation -- a lot of what you talked about are the same thoughts floating through my head and have come to similar realizations. It's so easy to feel lost especially with so many options. I've also tried so many different things and finally feel like I'm landing somewhere and am walking in a straight line instead of just stumbling blind through the world. It's a nice feeling, but the weight of people's perceptions, the possibility of failure & the idea that I've wasted time still get to me every now and then. It's nice to hear someone else having this conversations and to know *cue high school musical soundtrack* we're all in this together haha.

[@lgee9027]

My mom bought her first home in 1979 for 22,000 upgraded in 1982 bought second house for 40,000. Gave both of those houses to my siblings who owe student loans. My mom and I bought our homes dirt cheap in the 09 housing crash. Now everything is sky high

[@MutualEditzforyou]

Can we just see the mind of her parents especially, dad. He is just like "I don't want to compare myself with you". He is really amazing and also mommy too

[@Movieman1965]

Parents should teach their kids to have goals and work towards them as well as possible. Parents should teach their kids to have balance in their lives. Career, Family, Friends, Continuous Learning, Read, Health and Fitness. Invest for the future. Save for emergencies. Protect yourself at all times. Mentally and physically. Maintain good relationships and end any bad ones. Have a hobby to break away from the routine.

[@tendaimadziakapita3451]

I needed this. It was wholesome. Authentic. Thank you.

[@pmwyy]

I love my parents and I think they’re generally good parents. But when it comes to my relationships, they like to interfere and plant seeds of doubt. I wish they could be like your dad, standing behind me and telling me to just make a decision, do my best, and see where it goes.

[@sineadhunt9657]

Yup your dad and you do 100% need to do some sort of podcast he is giving us parentless people hope and comfort

[@Ezra_Seth]

Your dad is a real OG. I wish you had more episodes of him because there are a lot of young men who are lost and need guidance. He is a man's man. Please do more episodes with him

[@annemariechase]

I'd love to do more videos with him. What topics would you want him/us to cover?!

[@timothychin1594]

5:34 that understanding is so important to see the difference between what life was like 30 years ago and now

[@Alemarie2023]

*Your parents are so understanding.* ❤

[@rlaeve1451]

I just subscribe your channel recently thru watching shelby church channel in nyc with you. So these videos you have with your dad is really good. He give succinct advices and wisdom that's so beneficial, realistic and helpful to millenials. It's really nice hearing stuffs from experienced people. Keep it up Anne Marie. Much love from Philippines 🇵🇭

[@raininseptember]

Your dad is wise af. Great video

[@sarah-wellnessgreatness]

I loved that ending lol! Twas cute with your mom busting out the fruit, and your dad scrolling on his phone while you awkwardly conclude the video :P Too good >

[@lluviaelisegarcia]

I love how long and thought out your dad’s answers are :’)

[@wilmaotajele]

My Dad is a Urologist too omg!! Love your videos what a cute family!! :D❤️❤️

[@nicasolinap1146]

You’re dad is so understanding

[@Movieman1965]

Your dad is so right about costs and what is attainable! Cost of living has outpaced income increases excessively! I think maybe you stay home with your parents until you can "attain" at least a $100K job or more. Cz it's super expensive to live on your own now. I'm paying for my daughter's college education because even the universities are not giving out enough/substantial scholarships even though she has a 4.5 GPA and did all the extracurricular things ($65,000 per year).

[@Ibeonit]

As a older millennial I really appreciate your pops POV... so I sub 4 now.

[@nataliee_kim]

You're so lucky to have such understanding, great parents!💕 My Korean mother is so disappointed with me and basically disown me emotionally, because I'm an unemployed millennial right now and didn't finish college.

[@relaxingbibleverses4609]

You're not alone! I come from an immigrant home and it's so tough...

[@carolinefenno5877]

I have seen so many people your age who have a resistance to employment. Your dad is wise. You and the others like you have analysis paralysis. Just doing something to support yourself will give you self respect.

[@FriscoLuciano]

Your parents are hella cool. Your pops is a certified G!

[@maureene7138]

Your parents are so open minded. Great conversation

[@tracyalan7201]

Tell your father that a Honolulu viewer loves his shirt. The base gym regulars will probably enjoy knowing its getting air time. Weather is good today, a warm sunny day in Honolulu with little trades. Your parents must be very supportive.

[@AlexYem]

This is one of the most insightful videos I've watched! Thank you!

[@Emilyghe]

Don’t feel bad. A lot of 9-5ers are quitting their job to become KZbinrs

[@annemariechase]

This is true!

[@Emilyghe]

@@annemariechase people would rather be paid in health and happiness (not the toxic company culture)... happiness and family togetherness are all that matter and make sure

[@elainabex]

The dynamic between you and your family is awesome!

[@jininberry8204]

I love your parents! My mom is a cute korean woman and my dad is a very practical new zealand man who live in the US. My dad understands how times have changed and he helps us a lot. He has said in his own way he is proud of me too.

[@Kelleyo]

Your parents seem super chill

[@annemariechase]

They had both just woken up from a nap 😂

[@joelchen8091]

your mom is a total mood ✨

[@A-ID-A-M]

Ive never seen you before, but you look more 50/50 mixed than anyone I have ever seen. I love it! Hahahha.

[@shirleyvlogs6953]

The video we all needed !

[@Movieman1965]

I think there are still think there still many linear paths left. But social media is giving this new generation different potential careers that are not considered traditional. Like being a KZbinr for instance. How long will it last? Is it sustainable? Maybe. But with the traditional careers like Doctor, Lawyer, Optometrist, Surgeon, Engineer, Teacher, and many others are still doable and have long-term sustainability. But, you have to choose a path and let the future reveal the results of your choices. I'm a mechanical design engineer 25 years now. If I had known that Software and Electrical Engineering would dominate in earning potential and demand I would have chosen those. But, we don't have a crystal ball telling the future. SO, you choose and carve your path moving forward. Adjust as needed as the world changes.

[@Ravalos3260]

Such a beautiful family! I’m a 24yr old pharmacy technician and currently talking to a surgeon who I can see myself with long term. Hopefully I can have an amazing family like yours ^.^

I also love seeing other hapas. It used to be much rarer before social media!

[@claire577]

Your parents are great! Your dad seems like a great mentor for life/jobs haha my dad always tells me to find a skill i’m good at and use that to make a living

[@katemiller7874]

Good advice from your dad also

[@nicnic4887]

If i would get myself a life coach, i would definitely have your Dad. Putting no pressure to everything & speaking with empathy. Keep it up coach!

[@lextor4712]

Ask them why did they have you in the first place.

[@GODMODEPLUS]

Being a KZbinr is like trying to be an astronaut, not many will make it.

[@GuanXiaoSoul]

For the paralysis of analysis.... Sometimes it's more than that, we make a choice but because we have the whole world on KZbin or FB or Insta we are always seeing other people in other fields 'happy' and 'successful' and on a Daily basis we have grass is greener syndrome... It's so toxic and that why most of us don't stick with a career or wait until we master one thing ... We're generalists.... And that has its pros but mostly cons on mental health and lack of identity and stability

[@stopmonitoringnone6038]

Awesome brief young lady. Being a retired (20) Army dad of a young 23yr old Korean/Mex dad reminded me of a conversation my wife and had prior to our daughters entrance to Annapolis. GO ARMY!
