Say it isn't so. Like no one saw this coming. Students are saying they cant find summer employment. I have to laugh. First off permanent full time jobs have disappeared and been replaced by part time employment. Educated professionals are now taking the jobs summer students used to go after. Minimum wage was raised. Todays younger generation has a sense of entitlement. they don't have what it takes to do what needs to be done. They have never had it rough. Never had to do without. Never had to apply themselves. I worked 3 jobs while trying to put myself through high school.
As a young man in the 80's, I was able to establish a career in the oil industry. yes that's right in the 80's. I went through the yellow pages and called every machine shop in the city. If they weren't hiring did they know who was. I worked for every low paying slave driving sweat shop in the city. I took the yelling and swearing and insults of egomaniacs and endured. I carved out a career in a time when people were losing their homes in an industry in complete collapse.
A lot of establishments are charging higher door charges for people under 25 because they are too much trouble. Employers are hiring educated adults over students for the same reason. Hats off to the younger people today that do apply yourselves. You aint all bad and I recognize that. The rest of you have put yourselves into a situation of your own design and now the economy is forcing you to deal with it.
