Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
On the topic of young people and work, i think like so many things in our society, this is becoming a bit bimodal.
I know many, many college age and just post college kids who's work ethic and drive I would put against anyone on this board or around me in the working world. These kids are work while getting truly difficult educations, keeping an eye on debt and living in the real world of managing their finances while developing their earning potential. They all have one job but many have 2 or even 3 along with school. These kids come from a range of socio-economic backgrounds.
I also know many who are on a very bad path. Poor skill development (even with massive formal education), poor work ethic, not a lot of grit, living at home because Mom and Dad make life easy, smoking weed and surfing the web. They are in deep trouble.
What's interesting is that I don't know many in the middle. Those working a job, C students who are mudding through. A few...but most of the people I know are closer to one end of the spectrum or the other.
