I know the screening and training was better back then but is that our fault?
Or, are you just making a generalization that young people these days are selfish? While I am not really young (29 years old), I do agree that my generation and those below me tend to think they are entitled to things. That said, there are some of us who, if hired, will fight with you for what all ATC's deserve. |
I'm in your camp rctaber. I currently have about six figures in student loan debt and a really good (and good paying) IT job, but I am looking to do something different. Money is important, but doing a job that I think would be enjoyable (and with others who also enjoy their jobs) is more important I've realized. This is a good opportunity to change my career, and as a hard working American I think I'm entitled to take advantage of any position our government has made available.
