How the older generation accusses us of being "slackers", "overgrown children", and "procrastinators" as if we are intentionally dragging our heels to avoid adulthood.

grown up cause we dont have to, then she goes to tell us about another jounalist who says that the elders are taking more then their fair share calling them the "The Greediest Generation". How the future of our world is basically being depended on our youth or in other words "educated young people".
· She believes that when it comes to considering a career that you should do whatever your talented at or enjoy doing and not just something thats a paycheck, simply because America is the country of progress and oppurtunity.
