Young, Educated & Broke: An Introduction to America's New Poor - Paperback

by Jamie Borromeo (Author)

Young, Educated & Broke is a unique blend of memoir and social commentary that highlights the author's Millennial experience in America as a microcosm of the geopolitical and domestic affairs in American history during the 2008 economic collapse and the years that followed.
Borromeo drafts a "Millennial Blueprint" for what she believes can spark a conversation between young people and current leadership to address the youth high unemployment rates and leadership issues in this country.
In such uncertain times, Borromeo's analysis leaves you inspired and hopeful as she writes a plan---and provides tangible proof---that her generation will be a formidable force in the next chapter of America's history.
