Millennials are one of the most educated populations in the United States, mainly thanks to the 2008 recession. Many in Generation Y chose to stay in school to ride out the economic downturn, and with millennial unemployment rates at 8 percent, it explains why large numbers are continuing the trend.

Sophia Parsa, co-founder of the tutoring app - TOOT
Curt Cuscino, CEO of the millennial branding agency, Hype Life
John Jackson, Director of Cal State Fullerton's Center for Entrepreneurship
