[ Watch the TV news and look at these clowns. I seriously doubt that more than 5 percent of them have ever held a job, most are very young, perhaps graduated from high school or are in college and likely have no idea what it takes to earn a living. Somebody is funding these idiots and that’s where the real story is. ]

These “Silver spooners” and “bronze spooners” never even worked a damn day at a McDonalds or any other “menial job” until they got out of college and now have to work as a barista at the local starbucks because they are such a loser to pick a degree in something as useless as “underwater basket weaving”.

They went to college either on their parent’s dole or by voluntarily taking out tens of thousands in student loans all the time partying when they should have been studying and they expect life to be one damn big party. And then they whine about the being in debt when they get their useless degree????? They imposed it on themselves.

Most college kids who actually *gasp* WORK while they are in college actually have skills in terms of actual job hunting and don’t expect the jobs to just come fall into their lap after they walk across the stage on graduation day.

But some parents tell their children, “you shouldn’t have to work while you are in college because you need to study”. That is the worst thing you can do to a kid. Instead of learning valuable job skills during their free time they spend it hanging out and drinking and they graduate as stunted children expecting life to be an endless party.

I worked through college to support most all my costs, I paid off my student loans within 5 years of leaving college, My first job was at a McDonalds in High School and I started college the day after I graduated from High School. And I learned more valuable job skills during my two years in high school working at McDonalds than I ever did in college! I have several jobs when i was in college and after college I worked two jobs at once for a while to pay off debt. I bought my first house shortly after I could legally drink alcohol!!!! And I did it all without much help from Mommy and Daddy. I have even helped out other siblings financially when they hit upon hard times.

It is not about education it is about DRIVE and the way children are abused by liberal thinking has eliminated this drive.

Exactly. My first born recently graduated with a Fine Arts degree and now works in one of the countries largest museums. It was her first job interview!
The next in line is still in college, but just got an apprenticeship in the IT department of a world wide manufacturing company. He got two interviews, and got both positions. He had to chose one.
Of course, neither are covered in so many tattoos and piercings they look like old wall eyes. They're clean, neat, polite, and well educated (we home schooled).

I don't think the problem is education. I think it's the tattoos, piercings, entitlement attitude, and inability to pass the pee test.
