I find the best way to understand a group of INDIVIDUALS is to not lump them together as though they all think the same way, were raised the same way, have the same personality, etc.

I'm sick and tired of people talking down on my generation. The trophies didn't damage me. You know what did? Having to take on a broken economy. Because uh, yeah, when we entered the work force it was BROKEN. I'm sick of people lumping us all into the narcissist category (never mind that it's a legitimate mental illness), the lazy category, the "entitled" category (nevermind that our PARENTS gave us the trophies, we literally didn't care about them), etc. It gets old. It gets exhausting. Especially when I spent most of my adult life trying to find a job that wasn't out there. Not because I expected my "mommy" to get me the job. But because... it literally wasn't out there. Literally no one would hire me.

It's a different world out there. You can't just walk in, dressed in your Sunday's best, and get a job that day. No. You walk in, ask for an application, get told to "go online", and fill out an impersonal application, that has a series of questions you have to answer, and if you don't answer those questions the way THEY want you to (they being the computer system) you probably won't get the job.

Anyway. this cracked article sums up my feelings on this video
