[quote=Anonymous]I went to breakfast the other day with a friend who is a VP at a Fortune 10 firm. Probably had a 1000 people working for him. Very helpful in getting young college graduates jobs. I'm came four or five young college age boys/men. Safe to assume they have had every opportunity in life handed to them as I live in a pretty affluent area. They proceeded to stretch out and one in particular get elbowing my friend. I could see he was Getty aggregated but didn't say anything. When they left he expressed his frustration. And point blank blamed it on their parents. They are entitled little shits. No one ever told them they lost and they think the world owes them. This guy could have given any young man st that table a real start in life had they made impression. It is the type of social connections growing up. I see it in my own house, my son could eat all the bacon and if I called him out my wife would yell at me. These kids are coddled. 
And to previous poster about employers, well I worked for one of the largest software firms. And we regularly fired people. And the reason - we pay for results not activity. My son needs to learn tenacity and fortitude. Flame away, but the upper middle class suburban parents are actually doing s pretty shitty job at doing this.
In my house if you ask my son to do any work his Mom jumps to his defense. More than once she has asked why I am not doing it ? Well I tell my son that there are literally billions of people that would do anything to have what he has. He better be strong. And if there was ample bacon shame on Dad. If not, perhaps the kid needed a kick in the ass.
