Gen-Y v. Baby Boomers: Who's the "Me" Generation Again?

Newsweek has a web exclusive on how members of Generation Y differ from their parents, taking more time to settle into a financially stable career, move out of the house, get hitched, and have kids.

Apparently, this makes us the Freeloading Generation.

According to sociologist Jean Twenge, certified fuddy-duddy and author of "Generation Me", Generation Me has been reared hearing "'bad advice,' like 'believe in yourself and you can do anything,' leaving many with deeply unrealistic expectations about their lives." (This, of course, prompts the question of who gave Gen-Yers this "'bad advice,'" but I'm not pointing fingers...)

Additionally, Gen-Yers have been surveyed globally regarding their "relaxed priorities.":
"'In a study released this summer, global employment agency Manpower found that across the developed world, under-30s would overwhelmingly rather 'pursue their passions' than 'make lots of money,' with 73 percent of young Spaniards and two-thirds of Americans and Canadians backing that statement. Likewise, a recent Europe-wide survey from Stockholm-based Universum found that work-life balance is now the single most popular career goal among university graduates, ahead of high pay. Says Tammy Johns, Manpower's head of workforce strategy, 'Gen-Yers around the world are absolutely willing to quit any job that doesn't offer everything they want.'"

Is this that terrible? Make the jump and leave us your opinion.
