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

92. I hear you

My son and his wife are 23. They both work 2 jobs each. I admire that.

We've talked about the difference between my young adult days and their's. It wasn't always easy. Massive lay-offs in the 70s and into the 80s were painful, but you usually could find another full-time job somewhere else.

Today, not so. You're lucky to find a part-time job, and if you do, it's not a livable wage.

My daughter-in-law sometimes has to work split shifts. A couple of hours in the morning and a couple in the afternoon.

They time each employee's bathroom breaks. At the end of the week they total those minutes. They show the employees how much time they wasted. They then add the dollar amount to show how much they are stealing from the company! She's so afraid to take a bathroom break. What the hell is that? I think it's criminal, but that's me.

While times started to get rough in my early working days, I never, ever had to endure anything like the youth of today endures.

I'm very proud of your generation. I'm proud of my family. They were out there getting people to vote this past November, and they're already talking about 2014. Neither are political, but they know that if they don't work toward a better future, no one will do it for them.
