Somebody Has to Say It

Today my dad commented during a conversation that "kids don't wanna work these days".  At the time I just brushed it off, no big deal; but the more I've stewed over it, the angrier that simple comment has made me.  It's strange to me how the older generation looks down on us as lazy.  Why? Because instead of working out in the sun we tend to go more for inside jobs that are physically less demanding.  My generation (twenty-somethings) definitely goes more for technology and computers than getting out and digging ditches.  NOBODY wants to dig ditches! NOBODY wants to be out in the sun all day.  The only reason people still do it is because you can make pretty good money doing those types of jobs.  Therefore, if you can make the same amount of money if not more sitting on your ass playing with technology, why not?!  Sounds like a lot more fun to me.  Work doesn't have to be miserable in order to be considered work.  That's my rant for today.
