Maybe I'm not representative of my generation, but I feel privileged to have a job at all in this climate, to have a car, to be given the opportunity to represent my organisation, and so on. It's a far cry from the attitude of a lot of people in the older generations, that the workplace and the economy somehow owes them something, like a job, like a car, like a big house, like a space in the parking lot with their name on it. There are people of all ages and generations with a chip on their shoulder and false sense of entitlement, and then there are the people who recognise that no one owes them anything, unless they earn it. (I guess I feel old because I'm twenty-six and about to emigrate to the U.S. and get married. That makes me feel like a big boy!)
