Holy crap. As a baby boomer, I was on my own at 18, married at 21, and started my current career at 25.

Same here...

Big difference is I didn't FEEL entitled to a job, a life, a career like many of these whiny crybabies do today...

I know "I" had to make my life, not wait on some other entity like mom or dad or uncle sugar daddy to grease the path for me...

At 22 I was married had two children worked a full time job and went to school three nights a week...

Ask most of these kids today to do that and you get this incredulous look like "are you insane" ...

I joined the army at 18 while some in my graduating class decided to take ayear to “find themselves”.

Last I heard of them, they were living with their parents, smoking pot ans still looking ....

what did “Ben and “Eliza” think would happen? “Graphic design” sounds suspiciously like the kid who used to paint the top of his skateboard a different color every couple of weeks.
