ATLANTA -- Is this a generation of over-confident graduates, spoiled and obsessed with smartphones and their self-portraits?

A new Time Magazine cover story suggests so. It said the so-called millennials are unlike any other generation before them. They live at home longer and think they'll earn more than they actually do upon graduation. They score higher on narcissism tests than other generations. But don't expect to hear them admit to it.

"I think you have to be over-confident if you want to get a high-paying job or else someone else will get it instead of you," Emory University senior Dylan Holte said.

A study conducted by the consulting firm Accenture found this batch of graduates to be out of touch with what they're facing. Only 15 percent thought they'd make less than $25,000 a year when they graduate, while in actuality one third of last year's graduates are in that pay grade.

But are millennials getting a bad rap?
