Another thing to consider:
Kids entering the work force have been raised by parents who have been overextended on so many levels. They don't have the time or energy (or, care) to focus on their kids education or behavior. The parents are doing the the best they can to provide for their families while neglecting key patenting skills.
Unfortunately, their kids have also learned to do the same... Do just enough to get by. Don't think. Just do. Jump through some hoops and be like everyone else.
this isn't quite working for me. yes, i think a lot of the work ethic, or lack thereof, has to do with parents and many struggle. however, too many parents have screwed up priorities and struggle to provide lots of cable TV options, cell phones, big screen TVs and other toys. parenting skills are neglected in the face of warped priorities.
