    So did you graduate from college last year? PhD, or reskilling? Following a passion?

    (Still not enough info to know when it was! Haha)

      The youngest Millennials graduated school in about 2014 or 2015 at the latest. There’s no way, in context, they’re talking about a PhD, and very, very little chance they’re even talking about undergrad university.

        Hm…I’m seeing that millennials are between 29 and 44. Even 29 is old enough to earn a PhD.

        Either way, the older ones are definitely old enough to be talking about post-secondary.

          It wasn’t obvious because of the age, it was obvious because people don’t say “back when I was in school” to refer to a doctorate. And when the context is specifically trying to emphasise how young they were at the time, they don’t tend to mean “when I was an undergrad”, either.
