The point that I took away is that there are plenty of people in their 20's that bust their butts. When the older generation is complaining about the '20-something whiners' the tone of those rants is usually about how little the '20-something whiners' do (i.e. they sit at home and watch tv/smoke pot/play videogames/etc rather than bettering themselves through education/etc).
Entitlement involves having an inflated view of oneself - based on what's said in the article, sounds about right.
Just seems odd that the author complains about not being able to find a job, yet takes zero responsibility for his situation.
When I graduated college (into a shitty job market) many job offers were delayed, rescinded, or simply unavailable - I don't remember blaming everyone else.
I don't know that he's necessarily blaming the older generation so much as he's pointing out that the older generation made all sorts of promises such as, "Unless you get a university degree, you'll never get a good job" and "Once you have a university degree the job market is smooth sailin'" which are obviously not true. And now the older generation is complaining that the younger generations -- raised on such 'truths' and promises -- are saying "Where's this cushy job I was supposed to get with my college degree?"
Judging by the tone of this article I have to say, yes, his premise is dead on.
Someone fix the headline: College boy finds out that life isn't fair, cries a river.
