The biggest problem with a lot of the younger workers is the lack of any kind of work ethic. They are, after all, ENTITLED to a high salary with full benefits. Uncle bammy told them so. Employers don’t need that kind of BS.

Damn right. When I was young, jobs were so scarce, kids actually dressed nice for an interview at McDonald's.

It took me over 20 years of hard work in my profession to finally crack the big 60K mark (well, I actually got there sooner, by moving to Japan, but that's another story) and kids today think they are entitled to that kind of money fresh out of college.

The biggest problem with hiring older workers has been their health insurance. Voila, Obamacare will take care of that as more companies throw their employees to the ACA. Welcome once again to the land of unexpected outcomes.

As a supervisor (years ago), I had to attend seminar after seminar on how to be a good supervisor. I got pretty sick of the constant emphasis on ‘us’ so at one of these things, I asked the instructor when they were going to start seminars on how to be a “good employee” .... you know, those details like coming to work on time, being dressed appropriately, general ‘office’ etiquette, things that should just be a “given” and that we supervisory types had to waste time with and attend seminars to learn how to correct without getting the company sued for discrimination or something. She was speechless - never did answer the question.

Exactly!

Too many students are not learning anything and the garbage they are learning is useless to be a teacher. I’m sick of seeing so many morons think that their degree in Hippie History and real life experience in herpes acquisition somehow entitles them to a million dollar salary.

Young people expected the same opportunities previous generations had, and aren’t getting them; nobody has been more impacted by the mass immigration than today’s young people. They do lack the same work ethic (in general), but over all I think they got screwed (in the same way many older Americans did, but in larger numbers).
