[quote=sdrealtor]So WhoTF are you agreeing with me or CAR? You flip flop more than a political candidate…[/quote]
sdr, put down your glass for a minute and let your puppy outside … he’s whining to “do his business.”
If you’re referring to me here, I agree with CAR in that jobs which one can raise a family on which require only a HS education to obtain have been in short supply in recent years.
These jobs enabled an entire family to live, but NOT in the style a “typical Pigg” would prefer. Pigg or no Pigg, the vast majority of the “younger crowd” (especially “the 21-35 year-olds”) feel that they need everything you mention above in order to exist … and then some.
From what I’ve seen, a pervasive “sense of entitlement” exists among young people today. I’m struggling with how to fix this in my own daily experience. I guess this generation will figure it all out when their “dream job” fails to materialize right away for many of them after graduation from college. Some of these recent graduates will have to begin making student loan payments at the six-month mark after graduation causing them to enter the “school of hard knocks” along their eventual path to “self-sufficiency.”
It takes way too long for most young people to become self-sufficient today and I don’t know what can be done about this.
