Young Adults See Their Pay Decline
WallStreetJournal Young people entering the job market are taking the brunt of the downward pressure on wages caused by high unemployment, according to a new analysis of pay trends.In data compiled for a coming report, the Economic Policy Institute, a center-left think tank in Washington, found that the average inflation-adjusted hourly wage for male college graduates aged 23 to 29 dropped 11% over the past decade to $21.68 in 2011. For female college graduates of the same age, the average wage is down 7.6% to $18.80.
Thanks to the baby boomers for living beyond their means.

Working in oil in the US is way the fuck better than in Canada.

And the good news keeps on coming.

"After graduating from Brown University in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in comparative literature and completing a Fulbright scholarship in Brazil, Cassie Owens was left with a few dollars on her stipend and no job in sight. So, Ms. Owens returned home to her mother in Philadelphia."
The plain fact is kids are getting degrees that aren't generally applicable to a lot of decent paying jobs and instead of sucking it up and getting something non ideal, they come home and mooch of their parents.
As someone who has worked throughout every level of education, doing jobs that F'ing blow, I have zero empathy for these children.
And children, not adults, is exactly what they are.
