“I knew when I left for college that I was never moving back in with my parents (particularly after they changed the locks and stopped answering my phone calls). But it’s different for Generation Cupcake. They look at Mom and Dad’s house as their “home until I get a home.” ‘
Hey Generation Boomer, what was that about the whole ‘tune in drop out generation?
At least we’re working and we aren’t out promoting the counterculture or whatever such nonsense. What, have you finally found yourselves?
Never had time to drop out, tune in, protest, etc. Worked in my parents’ restaurant before college, local bowling alley during college, saw people with degrees in my major (music ed) not finding jobs, so left college after three semesters, and kept working. Learned everything I know for my current job (IT Support) at home on our own pc, or on the job training.

The hippie freaks were only a small but vocal minority of Boomers. The vast majority were like myself, who served our country in time of war, went to college on the GI Bill, got good paying jobs, got married and raised families, paid our taxes, obeyed the laws, voted Republican, saved wisely and retired early.
