I don't know if he's a representative of my generation. I'm fresh out of college, I had a job lined up before my last semester (making considerably more than he did) and it seems like he and I probably had similar grades as well. I'm a little surprised that his job hunt is starting after graduation, that makes me think Colgate doesn't do a great job at career services...that, or the kid is lazy.

Please don't judge people my age on this guy, my wife and I both just graduated from college last may, we make a lot more than he was offered, pay down my (considerable) student loans, got married and we were able to purchase a home because we work hard. We're not all entitled.

I will say that I know a few people like him, but most of my friends are very successful and driven, not entitled.
