I guess an earlier poster's point about how you can work just as hard and not get ahead makes sense because we're sending people out into the working wold with a shitload of debt.

Correct response, hence if you can get the degree without any debt, that is a MASSIVE advantage in life.

It's still not evidence of the point that people today work just as hard as they once did.

Can you really not say in the days of xbox, easy sex, easy dope, internet, cell phones, and constant commercials that time management is way harder today?

I have lived through both and I have been around kids playing college sports in both and it is 2 different worlds. Since about the 1980's the sense of entitlement has risen greatly wether you wish to admit it or not. Pre 80's kids would be out hustling lawn mowing jobs, paper routes, and the like. Now old folks and immigrants have those jobs and the kids are playing Madden on the couch.
