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

Yes, Blu... There is a lot of similarity between your situation, and that of the original article, a guy getting his degree (paid for by his grandparents, so he's got no loans to worry about himself), and being out of work for years living off his parents and deciding not to take a $40k/year job because it doesn't suit him while he holds out for something better.

A lot of similarity.

/sarcasm off

I will take this as a compliment.

My comments were directed toward the more general discussion about the current generation being a failure rather than the original subject of the article. I agree the kid needs to get off his butt and take what he can get and go from there. I just don't like the posts that condem my generation as a failure with "entitlement issues." I felt that was all obvious from my post but perhaps I needed to spell it out a bit more for some readers so here goes:

/begin my point
Every generation has lazy free-loaders. Mine does and yours did too. Just because this man has chosen to live off of his parents does not mean our entire generation is worthless. When you were in your twenties did you have any peers that stayed with their parents or frequently moved back home? I suspect young people moving home when they can't make it is not a phenomena unique the the current generation.
/end my point

Clear enough?
