I was just going to say this. Everyone who has interviewed these people accross the nation has said it's the most un-intellectual protest. They have iphones and expensive casual clothes as they protest I guess corporate america. If you are going to protest something you need to give an intelligent reason why. [b]I also heard there are a lot of kids from the over-indulged everyone gets a trophy, everyone is a star generation who expected high paying jobs right away unlike us grungers from Gen X who expected to work our way up and we didn't feel entitled.

I too am furious about Wallstreet and all that has gone on with corruption, but anytime I have protested anything in person (once) or via petition (several times) or via letter  or what have you I could speak in detail about what I thought needed changing and how it should be changed.[/quote]

My sister manages a small company in the midwest.  She was searching for a few new employees over the summer.  Some of the applicants, fresh out of college or working on their degrees were asking $30.00-50.00/hour.  In this area and industry, highly trained applicants with many years of extensive professional experience on their resumes traditionally make from $30.00-40.00/hour max, maybe $50.00 if they are exceptional and specialized.  She has to laugh when the inexperienced college graduate is shocked when she offers them the going rate for their background  ($18.00-25.00 per hour)   :)[/quote]

Reminds me of the nannies around here who want to start at $18-$20 an hour and never went to colllege, maybe didn't even finish college...    hmmmm[/quote]
