Actually, yes. Consider for a moment that there are many immigrants to the US who have no trouble finding high paying jobs. If they can make it here then why can't somebody who grew up here?
I really get the impression you are trying to blame society for the failure of young people who expect sympathy. To me that is the biggest strawman here. This might be a societal problem, but the solutions rest on individuals. Blaming things, such as society, is just another form of crying.
> Your advice may as well be "read more books" or "work harder".
Yes, that is a good start. It worked for me. Also, so did writing tons of open source software in my time outside the office and having two simultaneous careers in unrelated industries.
