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.

This guys, this is it.

I am 25 and I should pray to the Lord everyday for finding my current job. It was a matter of pure luck.

 

Here you have my two cents in this thread: self-employment. It's the only way for young adults to start working on something you don't feel like a Pharaoh Babyboomer slave, where he gets richer while you suck shit. I must say self-employment is quite hard, but at least you are on your own in the worst case. Ideal would be meeting some of those many unemployed young adults with studies. This would also provide you 2-3 years of experience.

The problem comes when you find out the bank won't give you any credit to start... cause you have not any job or any propierty (obvious, you never had a job that provided you the chance to begin with)

I'm very concerned with everything you are talking about here, and all of you seem quite into it. I'm pretty sure most of you age around 23 to 29. I'll be glad to keep an eye on this post, as I know how it feels to be there.

Edit: in order to correct some mistakes/typos.
