[QUOTE="sailfish, post: 1512752, member: 53248"] I'm going to go out on a limb and say what I think the biggest contributors to this trend are. 1.) The continuous push for the necessity of college education even to those who would actually be better off without it. 2.) The federal government guaranteeing student loans to every Joe Shmuckenelli regardless of the outlook of their chosen career field and the likelihood of their ability to pay them back. 3.) The 'participation trophy' mentality that has been a cancer on an entire generation that I am almost ashamed to admit I am part of. I'm seeing fewer and fewer young people with enough personal pride to [I]want[/I] to make it on their own, even though they would be perfectly capable of doing so if they just worked at it, and they seem have no game plan whatsoever to make it there.
