Millennials Value In-person Advice More Than the Internet

The picture of millennials as wanting to do everything online continues to be challenged by what they say in surveys. Nearly 40% of the 2,122 people ages 21 to 48 surveyed by a retirement investment firm, Topeka, Kansas-based Security Benefit, say an adviser is a major source for financial information—more than twice the amount who listed the internet as their go-to resource. And people born between the mid-1960s to the early 1990s want in-person education.

Recently, another myth was exploded. It turns out that millennials don't all prefer to do their reading online. A University of Washington study of digital textbooks found that a quarter of students still bought print versions of e-textbooks that they were given for free. Pew studies show the highest print readership rates are among those ages 18 to 29, and the same age group is still using public libraries in large numbers.
