My oldest granddaughter just got her CPA and makes a good living. Her brother just joined the USAF and is training to become an F-15 mechanic. Their younger brother is in college and a major in business entrepreunership. Not a weeper in the bunch. Whiners whine.

But I'll bet they all went through some tough times (as did mine) to get there . . . and will doubtless face a few more.

Other Millennial kids look at me incredulously when I tell them that even McDonald's type jobs were tough to come by when I entered the workforce at the glut of the baby boom (1973).

In fact, I was in hog heaven when I landed my first job on a factory night shift which paid $2.10/hour, 25 cents over what was then the minimum wage.

Then I tell them that this and another part-time job (which paid a whole $2.50 per hour) paid my tuition and living expenses. Of course this type of schedule left me no time to get drunk or laid, which seems to be top priorities of college kids these days.
