I call Bullshit , there is all kinds of good paying work available to a healthy young person , it's not glamorous or sitting on your *** getting fat kind of work , it's hard , dirty physical work but it pays better than most college degree jobs and doesn't come with a huge student loan . The trades are always looking for honest hard young people , the mines , the rigs the road builders , just because your kids feel too entitled to do this kind of work doesn't mean it isn't there . In my youth I knew kids that left school after grade 8 to become plumbers and ditch diggers , the school board got it made into law that any kid under 16 had to be in school so then it was 16 and out after grade 10 to do the same thing. thats thousands of kids every year in a city of 4 million leaving school to earn a real good living and raise families by working hard without being so full of themselves that they turn their noses up at good paying work . Society has brain washed everyone into thinking a University degree is needed to get a good job and getting one guarantee's it , both are a lie , There are plenty of high school drop outs making 100k-250k a year working all over the world in the trades while the Colleges are full of dipshits getting liberal arts and sociology degrees on their parents dime , really if you pay for your kid to get a degree in a field with no actual job path at graduation or a job path that pays below middle class income while incurring crippling student loan debt you and your child are both dipshits .
Next time you are stuck at a road work site ask the kid with the dirty fingernails how much he's getting paid to play that shovel , you might find he makes more than you do .
