I am 25 years old, a recently divorced single mom, going to grad school and working in a museum part time. You haven't heard any job or money complaints from me, so don't generalize about a generation. Yes, it's tough and frustrating to get started, but I worked a museum education job for two years that I hated, and it got me what I wanted -- experience and opportunity for the collections management position I wanted and currently have. I figure I'll get to where you older people are the same way you did -- perseverance, patience, and poverty! Miriam Albahari
