How many of you are in marketing? How many of you are the ones that are promoting this so-called idea of "if you want it, you can have it" ?

Are you contributing to the problem - yet, critisizing your target customers who are making your careers for you?

Also: I know a lot of friends that have an expectation that they can have what they want. I've heard from my parents that there were roommates of some of the crazy/slacking they do, and I know alot of my friends who work a hell of a lot harder then my parents/parents friends.

As for the university bit, I guess it depends which university you study; I have seen far more amazing young students do some amazing young things then these so called "flops"

Depending on which segragation of the "young generation" you talk about, from most young people I know, we are more driven, hard working and quite frankly smarter then the 35+ group of people I know (including doctors, lawyers, engineers for both segments). You walk into work for half of my friends, most of the guys pulling 60+ hour shifts are under 30 years old.

I have yet to meet a 20 year old that doesn't think that he is smarter than anyone over 35.
