I have never seen anything like this

I know someone who is on the hiring end of things (for an entry level position) and it is insane trying to get qualified staff. I remember 5-6 years ago when I couldn't even get a damn job as a cashier or at retail over the summer... today, I could get 20 jobs if I wanted to, and I could tell them all to f-off if I got bored of them or they didn't pay me enough.
What scares me is 4-5 years down the road, assuming things slow down and the demand for labor decreases, when you'll have all these kids walking around used to making decent money at entry level positions, but with no idea how to hold a job, have a work ethic, build relations with other co-workers, or market themselves on a resume because everything has been handed to them on a silver platter and they can be an @$$ at work or just quit and find a better paying job if they're not happy...
End of rant
