Also having to pay back student loans to obtain a science degree at 7-8% interest rates in the teeth of a nasty recession without the sympathetic bankruptcy climate of today. Compare and contrast with the whiny snowflakes are boo hooing about paying back at less than 2% interest? Sucks to be a barista with a combined gender studies/art history degree, doesn’t it snowflake?
I don’t have much sympathy. Baby boomers made up a great deal of the armed forces of the Viet Nam War. It wasn’t all beer and skittles.
