72. In which industry would you like my generation to employ a work ethic?

Finance?
Manufacturing?
IT?

All careers in which politicians were busily working to destroy as we watched our parents enjoying the last great years of the golden age of the Middle Class.

I'm not going to eagerly embrace a shit wage with no benefits and no hope of vast pension funds, a 401 (k) a new vehichle and a yearly family vacation.

Many of us weren't old enough to affect change that currently affects us now, that was *your* doing. So forgive me if I won't roll over and bow down to your "I've got mine" shit-tastic attitude that Gen Y is just being "lazy"

FFS!
