If not just your phone but your tv, your music, your friends and your work communications all came to you via that gadget from Apple, you might just be a little more fascinated with it yourself. They’re not all slackers and deadbeats, really not much worse than generations preceding. Employment prospects for recent college grads are still awful. Have a little empathy. What are they supposed to be doing, scrubbing the floors? Those jobs have been taken away by non citizens. So have just about all the sorts of jobs teenagers would usually have done in your recollection.

I got my first job working for someone else when I was 15 (I had actually worked for myself for even longer washing neighbors cars ect). It was at McDonalds ... scrubbing floors amongst others horrible things (cleaning the shake machine still haunts me 30 years later). And if that were not bad enough, It was the morning shift and I had to ride my bide about 5 miles to get work at about 5am or so.

I worked that job the entire summer that year, and knew by the end of it I never wanted to work that hard ever again and became determined to do whatever it took to be successful enough to not have to and instead use my brain to earn money.

Sometimes you NEED that job scrubbing floors to teach you a valuable lesson.
