Generation Wrecked
Ryosen writes "Fortune magazine has an interesting article discussing how members of Generation X (those born between 1966 and 1975) have been damaged by the fall of the economy and the life-long ramifications of the dot.com boom-bust, stating 'No generation since the Depression has been set up for failure like this.' Particularly disturbing is the statement 'Worse yet, for some Gen Xers, their peak earning years are behind them. Buried in college and credit card debt, a lot of them won't be able to catch up as they approach their prime spending years.'
Are the best years of our lives truly behind us?"
The sad thing is I think George W Bush thinks going to war will help the economy.
What?
British have jobs? Isn't that a third world country?
This is just idiotic. I can't believe people continue to write articles like this to give these people without common sense yet another thing to blame for their own mistakes. Grow up and accept responsibility for your own life. People love to complain that there aren't enough jobs out there for IT. There are plenty of jobs. It's YOUR FAULT if you don't go after them and accept a slightly lower salary than you were making 3 years ago. Learn to accept some personal responsibility for something. ANYTHING.
GAH! you guys are popping up everywhere! GO AWAY LEAVE ME ALONE!
Talk about whining! What a whiny little bitch!
The economy is bad because Saddam is a bad man! If we attack Iraq and force a regime change, everything will be hunky dory! I promise!
