Lack of Ambition in Young Americans

The Americans I am referring to here, were born after the boom economy that followed WWII ended in the Sixties and Seventies. In the Fifties, it was easy to go to college, and get a career. And most young people did just that.

The young people I am speaking of here are now in their Thirties, and are getting along to use their own terminology - surviving on a minimal income, a minimal education, and no career prospects. And to use my terminology - no ambition.

We are tempted to blame someone for this (perhaps their parents) but it is best to consider this a system defect, or a functional problem. Everyone is responsible for it - and no one can escape this responsibility.
