One thing I think would help reduce elite Millennial burnout/disappointment/rage is for people to stop thinking that their job should save the world.
"Save the world" and "make the world a better place" are probably just things employers tell you to get you to work for cheap.

Maybe your job will give you meaning and purpose and a sense of doing good for the world.
Or maybe it'll just make you some money so you can raise some kids, have some pet rabbits, and be active in your local community.
There's more than one way to get meaning in life.

Also, people glorify saving the world when it probably just gives you PTSD.
We like watching Star Wars and Lord of the Rings and whatever, but we wouldn't want to actually fight Darth Vader or slog through Mordor. That would cause major burnout!
