My generation makes me sick. How's that for a strong statement?
I've worked my tail off for everything. For the first time since I was 18 I have only one job. I used to love it in college when I heard how many people never worked a day in their life or "worked for their dad during summer vacation." Many had jobs waiting for them before they graduated. A former roomate had his father get him a job in a bank. Dad was the president of another bank and he never could tell me exactly what he did because he didn't know.
Oh yeah, those fast trackers didn't impress too much in ground school. We had 3 of 5 ATPers wash out, one from CAPT and one from DCA. Only one from a traditional training background. A couple of these guys fit right into the siver spoon mentality.
