Another study finds Generation Y to be kicking baby boomers' butts when it comes to being entrepreneurs. To quote the American Express sponsored study:
Generation Y entrepreneurs are more likely to have started their business right out of school (27% vs. 9% for Baby Boomers). They are also more likely to look to their parents' experiences as life-shaping influences, with 55% citing their fathers' work experiences as a factor in starting their own business. (vs. 44% Baby Boomers). According to the survey, many Baby Boomers (26%) started their business because they were financially unable to retire.
Okay, I'll accept the cold hard facts, but remember it's all because baby boomers had it made and life was easy during the good ol' days. We had no need for the myriad occupational choices and leeway about which Gen Y now brags. In our day you either worked for IBM or you didn't. Either you worked for The Man or you did not. And, older Polaroid photos were simply black-and-white.
