Comment on How Baby Boomers screwed their kids

Comments

An impatience driven by two things: First is a gross misunderstanding that things like success, money or happiness come instantly.

This doesn't jive with my experience. College grads these days very often start their careers working for free in unpaid internships. If that doesn't demonstrate delayed gratification or an understanding that success doesn't come instantly, I don't know what would.

Younger people should learn this long, long before they graduate college. By then they're already functioning adults.
