You can't find a job or you can't find your dream job? I ask b/c I've met several 20ish grads who essentially felt the job offers were beneath them. Are they really or do you just not want to start at the bottom and pay your dues working your way up?
More anecdotes.

Sounds like boomers putting in their 40/week and coasting to retirement.

Well, I'm not a boomer but if you've earned that right to coast. ...so be it

Just answer the question douche- if you can. Im not suggesting anything other than the fact that entry level jobs (nowadays) probably suck more than anyone can imagine. But is there a job you feel you are too good to do?

My parents are both college educated boomers, both worked well over 40 hour work weeks, and both in their 70's and still working over 40 hours. Not too sure which boomer you're referring to. One of mine was one of 8 kids who grew up on top of a grocery store. I think you may be a bit confused to the generation and generalizations.

Wow. Great attitude from a boomer?
And I'm 28. And no, a job isn't beneath me.

The best music, the best technology, the best everything that is good today was started by a baby boomer. Now, as far as that bad shite like debt etc..... they suck.

I've worked in multiple industries with interns to 70 yr olds.
Those within 5-10 years of retirement, not in senior management were all clock watchers.

when the boomers took power in the 80s, our national debt soared
not only did they fail to fix entitlements, they expanded them
in many ways, we could argue the "greatest generation" who fought in WW2 is the group who should take the most blame, as they are the ones who enacted medicare/medicaid and the welfare state

Right now, today, I don't think the boomers can be really be challenged as the worst but there are a couple of generations since then that have definite potential. Revisit this in thirty years or so when they've had a chance to really influence things.

Exactly. Don't get it.

Im not a boomer. But I cant tell if youre trolling or not. Thanks for finally answering my question. I asked because of past experiences where new hires didn't want to start in the WH before going into sales or some other better position. My point being, in a shitty economy, sometimes you have to start at the bottom. I've found some 20YO grads wont do this. Kind of puts them at a disadvantage if you know what I mean.
