They took us to the Moon, and invented ARPAnet, which became that Internet that you slack on all day.

Don't worry. Your turn to be kicked to the curb is only decades away, and some little will no doubt tell you what a crappy generation you are.
Thats the entire point, chachi. The fact of the matter is that the generation has been in the power structure and ed everything up in that time. i wold also posit that the average age of CEOs according to Forbes is 51, congressman go in at 55 years. that would put the true ruling elite right at those bas s for the last 20 years.

Also I am studying engineering and that would be a discipline with lesser and lesser enrollment rates. The fact that he baby boomers are leaving that labor market is a trememndous boon and unless there is a windfall of engineering degrees it will remain a profession with a sellers market to work with.

And this has nothing to do about me being younger and completely about the fact that the baby boomer generation has literally screwed everything up for the rest of us. Fiscal irresponsibility and questionable ethics are their trademarks.

If youre on the cusp right there then its your generation that is next up to bat but realistically anyone in the current power structure that wants to question the integrity and work ethic in the younger generations should perhaps use some introspection.

We havent the bed liek they have. We may but it would only be following in their footsteps if that is the case.
