I was born '80 and consider myself to be in the nebulous area. My sister is '83 and is firmly 'Y'. I saw the college bubble popping. It's why I went to night school and graduated debt free from a state in-state urban public university with a solid, practical program and a degree in business. It was a tough few years, but it also set the expectation that life would suck for a few years and then would get better, and I would find a way to do what I wanted after I met the goal. Too many people, the author of the linked rant (I won't dignify it by calling it an article) seem to have been sold a promise of a fulfilling fun college experience and fulfilling fun career if only they mortgaged themselves. Mortgaging yourself never is a good idea. That is a horrible approach. I hope that the generation now in high school learns from their errors.
