(11,690 posts)I came out of school with 11,000 in debt in the mid 90's. I also had to work about 30 to 37 hours a week to afford a place to live. Then I decided to go to graduate school to "better" myself (actually I needed the degrees for any hope of advancement in my field). Now my debt is 10 times what it was.
The funny thing is that the younger generations are living in the world created by the older generations. For the first time in a long time in the US the lives of the younger generations have fewer prospects than the older generations, but yes, we are spoiled and weak and ask for "free stuff". Hmmm, I wonder where those attitudes came from? I guess we all just developed them on our own without any kind of input from say, our primary care givers.
