I've been working since I was 16, etc. Had to do chores around the house and didn't get paid for it (I got a roof over my head as my folks said). I have friends who fit in both camps but really, I think when it comes to it, they'll buckle down and get work done. The problem is people have let them get away with slacking off they expect it to continue. When it doesn't, they're perfectly capable of stepping it up just as every generation in the past. And every generation thinks that the next generation has it easy. It's part of progress. Our lives SHOULD be easier than the previous generation's.
So, moral of the story, don't give up on the kids coming out of school these days. Some are ready to work for their money.

I couldn't agree more. It is the select elites who think they are entitled to megabuck jobs that ruin the perception for the rest of us.
My daughter is a prime exanmple of what is right when you have your head on straight. She worked her tail off to get through school and struggled to get a Job teaching. She is currently working in an Inner City school for underprivileged kids in a city North of Chicago. She is without a doubt a hero in my eyes!~ We need more commited people like that who want to make a difference and work hard at what they do!
