Middle Class

Will the Middle Class Have Room for Baby Boomers' Kids?

An eerie blog about our generation. John Schneider speaks of how the youth of today is struggling to make it by, and that in today's grudgingly slow job market, even the college educated struggle to find jobs.

From a standpoint of a person that this is speaking directly about, it's frightening. The fact that when I finish my stint in college and start looking for a job that I may end up in the same position, or even lower then where i am now is one of the most depressing thoughts you can give someone.

Hopefully things turn around. Hopefully this blog post in a few months is viewed as just another wrong idea in a long long road of success for many of us. But, truth be told I think the near apocalyptic picture painted by Schneider may be closer to the facts of life. In ten years, holding a steady job, regardless of the pay may be incredibly difficult.  If there is no change, we may end up just as John Schneider predicts - jobless, homeless or just stuck back behind that counter at McDonalds.
