[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My greatest generation parents did better than their parents. My boomer siblings have done better than our parents. And my millennial children are on a path where they could do better than their boomer parents. I believe the differentiators are better education opportunities and dual income households. Hard work has always been part of success for all the generations.[/quote]
I agree.  Pick a more lucrative career. [b]The days of majoring in whatever you want and getting a good paying job is over[/b].[/quote]

The bolder alone is worth much more than anything else others have complained about.[/quote]

+1 I have to believe the number of useless majors being offered today is significantly greater than 40 years ago. Back then we thought that sociology and philosophy were of questionable economic value but the list today is much longer. [/quote]
I think back then you could major in some liberal arts degree and find a good paying office job because there were less people going to college.  Not so today.  We have way more college grads competing for the good paying jobs.  Back then you could go to vocational school and get a job and live a middle class life.   It's getting harder to do that.[/quote]
