Reply #50: I reject your attempt to diminish my accomplishments with your extenal locus of control thinking

I reject your nasty interpersonal behavior as well. You can keep it for yourself.

...having the opportunity to start a "real job" at age 25 is precisely what the "lost generation" lacks....

The unemployment rate in 1983, the year I turned 25 and got my first decent job, was every bit as high as it is now if not higher.

...the dumb luck of being born at a time when the corporate bosses hadn't yet thought of nifty "profitable policies" such as using interns to do entry level work for free, and outsourcing to cut mid-level work labor costs.

All of that was already happening in the early 1980s.

You've put a lot of effort into blaming other people for your dissatisfaction with your life. Try taking responsibility for yourself some time. It really can work.
