Baby boomers create a system that destroys people's lives through their own greed and then make light of it. Yeah great.

Yeah, that's a pretty good example we're seeing the effects of now in BC. My mom got a full time teaching position straight out of university (which only required 3 years back then, not the 5-6 you need now) at the age of 22.
Fast forward to now and she's retired, but there are still a bunch of teachers her age who are are completely burnt out and useless but are clutching on to their positions because they can't afford to retire (despite an extremely generous teacher's pension they're entitled to). Because of that fact, you have people taking up to 10 years from graduation before they're securely in a full time position.
