16. It's wrong to generalize
I know many, many young adults since my current work is on a campaign. They're driven, motivated, and have a tremendous work ethic and level of enthusiasm.

OTOH, I know other young adults, mostly young men, who sit around the house doing nothing all day and not even attempting to look for work. And I understand the job market being rough but how about helping out around the house? I know one family where, I swear to God, they hire a housekeeper and landscaper to take care of the house while their 21 year old doesn't lift a finger. I asked them why they didn't make him do chores and his dad said it's just easier to hire someone than to struggle with him.
