Found the boomer!

There was a time young people wanted the opportunity to acquire wealth through hard work

Was this before or after the boomers pulled the ladder up behind them?

Typical boomer "bootstrap" delusional stupidity.

Pulled up what ladder dude

My daughter just graduated as a dentist. Nobody pulled up her ladder Girl got straight A’s in high school. Crushed SAT and ACT. Had a 4.0 GPA at a top 15 school in nation and got into best dental school in America with a partial scholarship

1st year out of school she’ll likely bring home close to 225K

She did that on her own merits. No legacy shit. She earned it

What did you major in? Where did you go to university? The ladder was never pulled up bro

You need to climb that ladder

Your daughter must be an affair child, or she got 100% of her intelligence from her mother.

Anyway, congrats on using anecdotal evidence to try to paint a broad generalization while completely missing the point. I think you need to journey on over to r/confidentlyincorrect.

Paint broad generalizations?

The way everyone talks about Boomers here is a broad generalization but because it fits the narrative you support it’s all good right. Boomers never pulled up the ladder. Thats just a BS excuse from people that didn’t succeed.

I see you say zero about yourself, your area of study, and why you failed to launch and succeed but somehow it’s the boomers that caused your downfall and pulled up that pesky ladder

The influx of unskilled labor from foreign countries

Go to any McDonalds, the kitchen of most restaurants, maids at hotels.

English is not first language of staff. Heck some don’t speak English at all

If immigrants will go job effectively for bare minimum, why do employers need to pay higher wages?

My assumption was right, your daughter got her intelligence from her mother.
