The New Generation???

Try and read the whole article before commenting. I couldn't get past this portion:
American Dream Is Elusive for New Generation - Yahoo! Finance

The daily routine seldom varied. Mr. Nicholson, 24, a graduate of Colgate University, winner of a dean’s award for academic excellence, spent his mornings searching corporate Web sites for suitable job openings. When he found one, he mailed off a résumé and cover letter — four or five a week, week after week.

Over the last five months, only one job materialized. After several interviews, the Hanover Insurance Group in nearby Worcester offered to hire him as an associate claims adjuster, at $40,000 a year. But even before the formal offer, Mr. Nicholson had decided not to take the job.

Rather than waste early years in dead-end work, he reasoned, he would hold out for a corporate position that would draw on his college training and put him, as he sees it, on the bottom rungs of a career ladder.

I can't wrap my head around his reasoning. I've always thought; get your foot in the door, work hard, do what needs to be done - not necessarily the same as what is in your job description, and you'll get where you want to be - however you define that.
