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

[TMW2010]

Alright... Admittedly, I was overly broad and possibly imflamatory when I used the word 'ALL' in the title... I know there's good kids out there that are busting their butts to try to get somewhere in life.

I just really was irked by the kid in the article... 'I'm sending out 5 resumes a week'... Umm... I was laid off a couple years back by the bank I was working at in one of their many rounds of cuts... I live 1200 miles away from my family, I didn't have to luxury of being a burden on my parents. I was sending out 5 resumes a DAY... Working my tail off to find a new job. Which I did find a new position and it sure didn't take me 2 years, and I sure didn't turn down any $40k a year jobs during that point because they didn't suit me.. And that was prior to my degree work. Yes, I did have 15 years of experience and my certs on my side which did work in my favor.

Even in the market today, there're jobs out there. I know quite a few of my coworkers at the bank who survived the early rounds of cuts, just to get hit recently at the height of the job market fiasco... And they were able to rebound and get into positions, even if they took a huge salary hit to get that job.
