It seems that generation Y has developed a reputation for being "slackers". In my opinion it is not fair to label an entire generation based on this extreme stereotype. we not are all 'bludging no hopers'!
Although less people in gen y are enduring hard labour for their money, they are being given the opportunity to study. This education will allow them to work harder and be successful later in life.
I agree we lead easier, and more comfortable lives now, but i do not see this as a negative thing. The fact that we are being assisted financially (either by parents of government payment) while we are studying will ensure that our generation will be well educated.
The majority of us still possess the work ethics that out parents and grandparents had.
The small percentage of 'slackers' that are uneducated, living at home and bludging off centerlink should not be used as an example of gen y. I am sure there were some lazy people in the 70s too!
