I think the kids growing up today are products of the environment they were born into, and some of the "poor behavior" reflected on them is little more than self-fulfilling prophecies.

That's the thing, as a whole, I believe the generations have been getting worse. My generation has MUCH more fuck ups than my parents, and the newest set of kids is WAY WAY worse. I can't believe how many of the teenagers don't have jobs, and don't care to have jobs. It's insane.

My parents gen - 75% went out and got jobs and worked
my gen - seems to be 50/50 on work ethics.
the now teenagers - seems to be 75/25. 25% of them want to work.

Honestly, it's insane. I know, I have a 16yr old brother in law that has never had a job, and has a work ethic for shit and is useless as shit when you want his help working on something. But he can tell you he has 480 (or some stupid #) of friends on facebook, that he posts and tracks on his droid or blackberry or whatever he has.

If you could retire today, would you?

You work because you need the money, not because you WANT to.

But I choose to work instead of not working, waiting for hand outs. I contribute to society by transporting petroleum products and pay taxes.

Hand outs are fine when you are a child.

If your BIL was 23, I'd understand.

At 16, if your parents are willing and able to support you, there is no need to have a job.

My parents could support me, but I had a paper route at age 11. It's a work ethic.
