I mean Boomers. Yes, they entered the workforce at a time of rising wages and quality of life and in an environment where they expected their employer to take care of them for life even through retirement thanks to pensions.
I think you're interpreting my "following their dreams" in an anti-corporate "not into corporate America" way but that is itself a modern framing. I meant more the belief that they could go to college for what they were interested in with the assurance that plenty of jobs would be available afterwards regardless of their major.
