Cute twenty-somethings job-hunt in their underwear.

Or so this article would lead you to believe. I've often felt that the little images people attach to articles for reference can be misleading. In this case, this is a stock photo of a model using her laptop on a bed in her undies/jammies...close enough for the writer.

This article points out something that has always bothered me. My generation (people born 1980-2000) has been labeled the Entitlement Generation. But a correlation does not mean causality, so just because the author could dig up a story about a kid who moved home to his parents house, and a girl who is using her unemployment checks to finance her European tour does not mean the entire generation is a bunch of spoiled brats. Many of the people here at my firm that fall into this age bracket work like dogs, and outperform the Gen X'ers here, who are stagnating. Of course, I'm not saying we're all like the people at my firm, but every generation is much too large to typify based on a few unhealthy examples.
