I'm somewhere in between - 32 years old, I guess technically a Gen-Xer. People in a middle class society tend to have a (often false) sense of entitlement. I agree that it's not a generational thing. I think the biggest change that I've seen since I was in, say, grade school, is a move away from interest in the hard sciences and technical disciplines, which may very well lead to greater disillusionment among today's young job seekers in a tough job market.
