To be fair, when I was in my teens and early twenties, I quit a bunch of jobs. If another offer was better or if it was in a location I liked better, I might quit. If I didn't get along with the foreman, I might quit. I was a little thin skinned at times. It is also worth pointing out that challenges are much different today than they were 50+ years ago. There is no question, society is more complex and expectations are different.
Back then, I could buy a new car for three months pay. I could buy a house for a years pay. I wouldn't even be allowed to live in that house today; CPS would take my kids away!
As much as I bitch about lazy kids, I'm not sure I'd want to be in their shoes. In fact, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't. GD
