I'm with you Gen Jones, though I like to call it Gen Lost. Everyone thinks I'm a Boomer but I didn't get shart as far as the opportunities boomers did. I saw what I was thinking I was gonna get but the carpet just kept getting pulled away, or the goal posts kept getting moved farther. One of a million example, Boomers never had to piss in a cup coming out of high school to get a job. That was never a thing for them.
By the time I was graduating HS I was supposed to have an associates degree already, okay that's two but, boomers weren't required to have an associates degree out of HS.
By the way I read all this stuff in some academic papers, it ain't a joke. Besides I played guitar for a living for a while so I did have my fun. But I also got a BSEE along the way. Anyway I had to make my way, it wasn't even close to being handed to me like a lot of people still think. It is a popular misconception. I know many others had too work for everything too I am just pointing that media and history like to make it seem we somehow inherited everything, it simply isn't true.
I'm XTRXTR I can go on and on and on...
