Looking at this guy you can feel a bit of both sides at work here. On one hand, there's no question our generation has been dealt a worse hand than the one before it. He lists a lot of the stats, but apparently practically any meaningful lifestyle/career statistic you can compare between Gen Y and the Baby Boomers has Gen Y coming up short. On the other hand this guy went through a whole lot of expensive education racking up debt to enter a career where he won't be able to pay it off. I don't blame him though; I know the atmosphere and attitude that lead Gen Y to follow their passions in college and careers when the reality seems like a predatory trap for moneylenders. Yet you see why people would call that entitled.
