Quote:How many boomers forced their kids to go to college? Do we really know? Can we not "realize" something, when it's just you saying so from your own experience, rather than verified stats? And can such charges about what some boomers "said" even BE verified?
Indeed, my own experience talking to dozens of millennials. I went to group counseling several times during university and that was by far the biggest issue that came up. Studies are an important supplement to an educated mind, but so is drawing your own conclusions based off of repeated observations. Studies may suffice in total when they have a study for every relevant question under the sun, but even then, I would have my doubts they would be enough.
Keep in mind I'm talking about boomers who specifically
- forced their kids to go to college
- didn't pay for it
- AND are bitching about student loan forgiveness
ie, people whom you would probably hate much more than I do
I don't think judgements of what people think or value based on personal observations creates any basis for conclusions about generations. Not that any study would suffice for that either, but it would be better.
No, I would not like those boomers very much. I wonder though how much of such control boomers have over their childrens' decisions of life and career paths these days.
