Ah the next generation is now referred to as the Entitlement Generation. At least the term "slacker" to refer to my generation seems not so bad compared to that. The X-ers didn't know what to do but the Y-ers are feel that the world owes them a living. And this is a culprit I think:
He partly faults coddling parents and colleges for doing little to prepare students for the realities of adulthood and setting the course for what many disillusioned twentysomethings are increasingly calling their "quarter-life crisis."
This will be an interesting dynamic to watch as we go along here. The boomers are going to go into retirement and Gen-X will be running things for a few decades. We will have slackers in charge of people who think they are owed a living. Not a good recipe for competing with the Chinese and the Indians.
