Are all of today's teens/20-somethings dealing with entitlement issues?

[Lindagerr]

I brought my children up in a small town of mixed wealth, but once they hit High School they met the "Rich Kids". I live near the boarder of Somerset and Hunterdon county NJ. Some of the richest towns in the country were around here. Kids got brand new cars for their birthday when they were old enough to drive, at high school graduation the list of top tier colleges to be attended was proudly announced. Millions of dollars in college education so these spoiled brats could " get the right start". Now some of these same kids are working at gas stations and Wal-marts taking the jobs my son with disabilities wishes he could get. The parents have lost the high paying jobs, they are mortgaged to the hilt and someonee needs to pay back the college loans. The parents have no retirement fund left it went for Juniors college. Like the kid in this article they sit home sending out resumes sure they will get the right job someday. The worst part is Mom and Dad don't know what to do, are we supposed to throw our "Perfect Child" who did it all the right way out on the street. The economy and the state of our nation has made us all take a second look at what we "Deserve or are entitled to":nopity: If any of that makes any sense I am trying to say our way of looking at things has changed and some in the 35 and below generation have never had to look from this angle before.

OK I will step off my soap box now.
