Millennials don't want to be coddled, they want jobs!

83. No, simply because your son made poor choices you choose to blame an entire generation.

Everyone I know in my age group are hard working and trying to make it either in school, the job market, or both. My anecdotal evidence is just as good as yours, which isn't very. Admittedly, I am being a bit harsh in this post. But for what little it's worth I do know what it's like to see someone you care about throw away an opportunity. My older brother sounds a lot like your son. He had plenty of opportunities and turned them down due to the fact that he didn't want work for them. He could have gotten a full-ride football or baseball scholarship if he had been willing to work at it, my parents helped him with college and he didn't even bother going to classes. So, I do get your frustration and perhaps I shouldn't have lectured you above.
