Interesting article and may explain a bit why millennials may not be choosing flying as a career.

All the money the industry has taken from its employees in the last 50 years will pale when compared to the cash they will have to put on the table to attract the next generation of pilot.

I think attention span is a bigger issue with millennials. They've grown up in a world of instant gratification. For them, it takes too much time and too much work/study to become a professional pilot. Too many rules to follow and too much authority to respect.
Plus, pilots are considered "square". Cooler to work in high tech or something "artsy".

Probably for the reason you mentioned. Pilots, like engineers, or other more strict technical disciplines require more analytical thinking and not much "self expression" or the artsy aspect. Combined with working in an environment of conformance and not standing out/"look at me" aspect.
Or what mpet above me said.
Law enforcement is similar.
