Entitlement and the Millennials

     Recently, I was able to sit in on a "teaching moment" and I would have to admit that I somewhat disagree with the facilitator as far his/her views on millennials aka Generation Y.

      He/She mentioned that Gen Y-ers are so stuck on "Entitlements" just because they feel entitled or that they should have something because they should (I hope that makes sense).
I feel that anyone who has worked their ass off, should be granted success (I don't agree with Romney's view...another blog post). There's a difference between going through the motions and doing work versus working your ass off everyday, so that you can go to the next step or have better life.
       Anyway, he/she used the example of college students--now a days college students feel that they should make $60k right out of school. I think that's steep but if the college student have the credentials, why not expect the most, when you know your worth and you've completed a number of hours for an internship or two?
        Me, on the other hand, growing up in South, I've been reminded repeatedly, (1)graduate from high school, (2) don't get pregnant, (3) get a college education (aka Bachelors degree), and (4) THEN, get married and have children. So now that I am 25 years old (closer to 26), I feel a little entitled because I've done all of those things and I'm close to completing my Masters degree. Sooooo...where's my husband and children? I know they will eventually come but I say all of this because when you are taught something, accustomed to hearing something over and over, and you comply with the rules. You expect certain things and you feel entitled to certain things...ijs.
       Back to the college students example...we are taught that if you invest in your education, you will be better off than the person who didn't attend college, or the statistics about how much more money you will make than the person who didn't attend college, and etc. So are we trying to hold ourselves accountable or the people who convinced us that we will be better off if we attend college? Or Based on our understanding of attending college we have high expectations?
