What fucking “struggles” does this generation have? Their mom’s taking their cell phones so they can’t text nudes of themselves to the BFs? via breefieldI see a generation that has been coddled by their parents. Told they dont have to try hard cause they’ll still get a “participation trophy” at little league. They expect everything handed to them. They graduate from college with degrees that are almost stolen, since they can have their papers written for them online, or even have their parents write them in some cases.
When they graduate they realize they cant get a job, have no social skills due to extended periods of time lived online, and no concept of morality when n00dz are a right of passage and suicidal kids can be coaxed into killing themselves on myspace. This extended adolescence must come to roost eventually. When these kids wake up, im sure theyre gonna be really mad.
or maybe theyre just gonna turn into jakob lodwick.
People born in 1986 - 87 (recent college graduates) can look forward to:
- Little to no job availability, having little to do with credentials or accomplishments (internship? fuck an internship!)
- Risk of high inflation, lest the Federal Reserve is able to raise the interest rate soon (and how those student loans are so fun to consolidate even in good economic times)
- I hear there’s a war going on somewhere, out there…
- Older parents and grandparents (boomer generations) are beginning to retire (willing or not!) which could off-set future investments they (or the government) is planning on
Recent college graduates probably don’t have it much worse than we do, even though most of us are already established in the work place. Yeah, they’re idiots and annoying. They probably spend more free time doing dumber shit than we do online, but think about it this: They’re going to be that much better at working with and using computers than we are. If you don’t believe me, just think about it the next time you see your great-aunt move a computer mouse with two hands.
