Sadly I see this mentality with my peers, particularly among those that go to what are considered good private universities and have affluent parents. A sense of entitlement bred throughout their lives from being told things like "you're smart, you'll get a great job and a great family and be happy" continually. It totally leaves out the work and luck parts of the equation. A few of my friends (more like acquaintances) are going through this type of experience, although unfortunately I doubt they'll learn the lesson that this girl learned because of being propped up by their parents. This reinforces why places like this community as well as the startup world in general is so great; a sense of entitlement leads to immediate failure. It's a reality check to those who think this way, and they'll either be humbled or get out.
