Young people today hardly know the meaning of the word "work".

I think that we're failing to define "work harder" here. If we're talking exclusively about hours put in, then it's possible in the white collar world. If we're talking about physical labor and willingness to do it, bullshite.

No he was in construction and typically worked 40-50 hours a week. Sometimes 60 if they were rained out the week before. Millennials today want a $80K starting pay job with no experience. They can suck a dick.
I'll thank my sense of entitlement

I don't know about his dad, but my dad worked construction, 12-hour shifts at the S.O. refinery, then served 3 1/2 years in the Army during WW2 all before he was 25.
Honestly, I don't know any millenial who has a decent education having trouble getting a good, well-paying job.

We have the internet and computers. I am surprised we are not >70% more productive

You must not hang out with people who recently finished graduate/professional school or engineering grads. They all come out expecting that or more.

work harder and work more hours. answer to everything is hard work. input = output
60 is the MINIMUM for professionals these days, 50 hours is laughable. take Uber driver as a second job. work work work!

I believe it. I have friends who graduated in petroleum this year who can't find a job to save their life while my pawpaw (71 years old) walked into shell oil at 19 years old after dropping out of LSU and started cutting grass. By the time he retired he was making 100k+ without ever going back for anymore education and gets a pension.

I think more are expecting to not be doing manual labor. Much of that was actually ingrained through parents wanting their kids to get a college education after the degradation of the blue-collar workforce in the 90's. I'm from MN, and it affected my entire family, as they were all factory workers who used essentially patronage to land their lifetime gigs. It's just different. But the factories and construction sites are not going to produce without, you guessed it, millenials. Now, since my generation is just preceding the millenial group, I am obviously a harder worker with a bigger dick, and am undoubtedly more American than those pussy, whining babies.

That's the schools fault. They feed you tons of bullshite about the average starting base salary of an engineering grad. I'm not sure where they get those numbers but at LSU they are vastly inflated. For instance when I was there (2014 grad), the listed average income out of school for a MechE grad was like $75k. I had two offers that were even in that ballpark after all bonuses and incentives. I know a few who were knocking on 6 figures, but the majority were in the low 60's. Still extremely good money for a 20something year old kid, but not what they condition you to expect.

If you went through grad/professional school, and you didn't at least have one internship under your belt, I don't know what to tell you.
I am a master's grad, 4 internships and research from undergrad through grad. Not one of my classmates had fewer than 2 and research.
