Calling someone simply wanting the same opportunities previous generations had "entitled" is something
This is how you do it, are you listening? I doubt it but here we go.
1 - wait until AFTER you’re married to have kids. That’s biological male and biological female. Hard concept apparently.
2 - graduate high school. Not college, high school. Lots of excellent opportunities out there that don’t require college. I don’t have a degree, and I’m retiring with no debt because I did both one, 2 and to follow…3.
3 - Get a job, any job and apply yourself. Other than 6 months off after back surgery I’ve always worked. I drove to where the work was when I had to. A 40 minute one-way commute was nothing. Drive something that gets 35mpg instead of the 20mpg truck you’d rather have.
Do those 3 things, life is much easier. Not easy, but easier.
In short, quit bitching and start thinking.

The world is what it is, look for opportunities and jump on them when you can. Be smart, and have a strategy.
Don't listen to all of the Grant Cardone types, that advice isn't realistic for most people.

This is where you are out of touch.
High school graduation rates are at 91% now. The bar has been raised. There are very few good opportunities for high school graduates now. Is trade school an opportunity? Yes, but that's not what you said.
If you do get a decent job with just a HS diploma you are going to find yourself being passed up on promotions by those with college degrees. You can't really swap jobs either, because with HR being mostly automated, resumes that don't include a degree will get sorted into the trash.

You’re wasting your time. Nothing is ever their fault, just ask them.
