Mark Cuban, the billionaire entrepreneur with a net worth of over $3 billion, says millennials should use their time wisely, graduate from school and have fun with what they do.

“Don’t stress,” the Dallas Mavericks owner and Shark Tank star told Business Insider, speaking hypothetically to his 20-year-old self. “You don’t have to know what you’re going to do when you grow up.”

Cuban has shared other thoughts on millennials in the past. Speaking to Elite Daily, he said they are “more interested in being free agents. Baby Boomers wanted a stable career.”

“Millennials want to market their careers every month and try to figure out their worth to themselves, their companies and society,” Cuban added. “I think that’s an improvement.”

Fortune on Wednesday released its 100 Best Workplaces for Millennials. Which company claimed the top spot? Power Home Remodeling, an exterior home renovation company that’s based in Pennsylvania.
