For what it is worth, in my experience, young people are suffering from a outdated and politically correct educational system, and they are often not well trained or suited for the job market they face.

they are more intelligent and more educated than the boomers who came before them. what kind of point are you making?

They are given unrealistic expectations

their expectations are the same opportunities that were available to those before them. how is that unrealistic?

or are you admitting that the boomers have completely fricked our society to where basic expectations are now "unrealistic"?

You disappoint me. One generation being more intelligent than another? I think that you and I are in the same profession. Do you really think it was easier when I started out? Yes, when I was young some people with minimal education got jobs making good money, and I know those chances are rare today but to blame an entire generation because your life is not what you would like it to be? Have you ever considered that maybe your financial conditions are a product of your own choices?

And to say your expectations are what we had is bullshite. We all grew up with the "you can be anything" garbage. It didn't take long to realize that some people aren't able to be successful at anything.

Contributing to your financial condition? Boomers are likely paying your salary. Stick to your guns and quit your job, and quit taking work from older people since they are causing you so much grief.

The biggest difference in the generations is that your group looks to blame someone else instead of just dealing with reality.
