Doesn't really jive with the article.

Being self independent in a modern society means being able to find a job, tie one's shoes, take out the trash, do homework and so on all without active management by the parental units.

It doesn't mean surviving out in the wilderness.

"Able to find a job" sounds very easy from our vantage point. For the majority of people, it most assuredly is not.

And that is the root of the problem.

Finding a job is easy.

Finding a job that pays the bills and affords the worker a certain lifestyle is the difficult part.
