> but to be frank the failures I see are directly attributable to plain laziness in a generation addicted to easy and inane pleasure.
When I was 20 I used to laugh at of my friends for being this way. Now 5 years later, they're in the same position complaining about the job market and its getting kind of sad. None of them put effort into learning any new skillset no matter how much I recommend them to. And these are kids all coming from good middle class upbringing.
This is of course purely anecdotal, but I'm hesitant to believe that this narrative is about a bunch of kids trying their hearts out to get work and a job market that doesn't want them.
Maybe a certain percentage but more often than not I see a lack of motivation to learn a skillset society actually needs.
