So much of this BS movement is about entitlement, and these slacktivists not being handed a 6 figure job right out of school, it is BS. Notice how next to nobody (except those looking for attention) that is protesting has a good job, and has a good career, or is financially stable.

This whole movement is all about blame, and people not taking responsibility for their actions. "I ran my ass 80K into credit card debt, I am going to blame the people that gave me the credit limit!" "I took a 750k mortgage on a 60K income, and when the job market softened, I couldn't pay, it's the BANKS fault, for letting me make a ######ed decision!" "I got a 16 year doctorate in Upper-Eastern Siberian throat singing... WHY WON'T NASA HIRE ME?!"

Everyone was all okay with everything and turning a blind eye until the house of cards collapsed. Now, a lot of people that made bad decisions, are looking for a scapegoat. Take responsibility people, have some accountability.

There are definitely some kids out there that feel entitled after an undergrad degree, but there are a bunch out there who are willing to take anything to get started. You sound very disconnected with how hard it is at the moment to even land an interview as a youth in the current job market. Look at Spain where there is something like 50% youth unemployment. That is insane. Calgary is probably the easiest place in North America to find employment, and it is still very hard.
