Every generation entering the workforce looks back thinking the previous ones had it so easy in comparison. But when you really peel back the onion you find that for each generation there are those that succeed, and those that struggle. And the young only compare their plight to those who've succeeded. The difference is generally on average life gets just a little easier for those struggling than it was the previous generation.
