Go to school. We did.
Get good grades. We did.
Go to college. We did.
Get a degree. We did.
Get a job. We did.
Then they said:
"You need 5 years experience for this entry-level role."
"Your degree doesn't guarantee anything."
"You should've learned a trade."
"Nobody wants to work anymore."
"Just buy a house." (With what? The $15/hr you're offering?)
We watched our parents work 30 years for companies that laid them off with a 2-week notice.
We watched the cost of living triple while wages stayed the same.
We were told homeownership was the American Dream, then watched hedge funds buy every house in cash.
We're not unhappy because we're lazy.
We're unhappy because we followed the blueprint and got handed a participation trophy while the game was rigged the whole time.
Now they call us entitled for wanting what they took for granted.
