By Michi Dimaano

Most millennials these days may find themselves struggling against an unstoppable universal force: reality. Most of us are now at a time in our life where reality has reached out and given us a very firm slap on the face, an unwelcome reminder that we need to act more like adults—cue the panic. We know that it’s a tough world out there, and one of the biggest issues is making enough money. But, the great thing is, there are plenty of entry-level jobs out there that seem perfect for millennial skills, and a lot of them can help you make good money.
