This thing burns me up so bad.
I had a fantastic opportunity to go to college, which I did for both standard and summer sessions, 21 units a quarter, no partying, no boyfriends, no friends, so I could make full use of what I had.
My husband didn't do well enough in high school to go to university, so he joined the Marines, saved his money, took correspondence courses, and is now working full time and going to school full time to get his engineering degree.
It simply makes me furious that silly bitches like those in this article are whining about how they're not being GIVEN enough, how people aren't MAKING them get educations, how they're not having opportunity handed to them on a silver platter while people like me are going without and delaying having children and working really freaking hard to make a life while they crap out babies and await their handouts.
I'm going to go breath deeply away from the computer for a while now.
Good post. My own story is very different, but I've reached the same conclusion about the culture of entitlement.
