Generalizations are annoying. Not sure which "gen" I am (was born in mid 80's) I have dealt with it from family quite a bit and so has my wife. Saying we stayed in school rather than get "real jobs" (we each have masters degrees and she's a full time professor and I work as a full time business consultant). And that we don't understand "hard work" (she easily works 80 hours a week counting time in and out of the classroom and meetings and I regularly work until dawn). It's understandable as that's just sort of how people react to young people, but it is tiring.
