'Eager? Yeah, for a job that pays way more than they’re worth right out of college, and most won’t consider food service or stockboy or any of the things that put food on the table while '
My aunt is senior hiring officer at a bank; she has been for years....once you get her started she cant keep quiet about today's newly minted college hoo ha's. She says they whine like babies, do not show up at work dresed appropriately or kemp, have absolutely no work ethic, cannot or WILL not make it to work on time, do not care to apply to advance in the hierarchy of the bank....and they often call in sick on a 3 day holiday.....she shoos them out on to the steet like so many summer flies...and spends more time training the whiners they replace than she ever did in prior generations....'will there be fries with that' (they just dont care)
Well, not our 25 yo daughter. She is gainfully employed and just received a nice bonus from her company, a major financial firm in NYC. She’s been there for three years now since college ...she was homeschooled many years and then went to a great Catholic university.
She votes Republican.
p.s. — she now thanks me for “pushing” her a bit. Which I did. In fact, at times I was was ruthless in my expectations of her. Also HIGHLY discouraged boys and dating before 18. (was often mocked for this).
But those who mocked? Their kids are drowning in loserdom ...
Childhood goes by seriously fast. It’s the most important work we’ll ever do. Parents who are working too much are also the problem, I believe, so they can have the big houses and twice a year vacations. I stayed home and sacrificed ...for which I was also mocked, hassled, often by own family members, especially my MIL.
Screw ‘em, I say. My daughter now routinely purchases me designer bags from NYC and can easily pay off her own college loans, lol.
