I guess you just have to be in the right place at the right time and trying your hardest now?

My cousin graduated from College, she went to UCF's Medical School, and she already had a job in the ER right after she was done. (Granted, she has to take observation and a few more lessons before she can actually work there but her job is secured so when she's done it's all ready for her.)

What are Baby Boomers?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_boomer

OK, so they are people just born in a certain time period that think of themselves as special?

I still don't really get why this is a "bad" thing...

It is considered by many that baby boomers where raised during the best years of history, and that they are the wealthiest and most priviledged generation so far. Some think wellbeing peaked during the baby boomer generation and it is now in decline, so this generation is the first one to live under worse conditions than the previous one in a long time. Also, it is thought by some that baby boomers are not allowing the younger generations to thrive because they hold the best positions and jobs and refuse to let younger people take charge.

Take that as you will, it is open to debate.

My teacher-that-doesn't-read-exams proves this. He's over 70 but keeps working because... well, he's the boss of his departament so he can do whatever he wants and earns lots of money.
