I do but their kids never finished more than a semester or two of college and are now in their thirties, never having kept a job longer than three months in their whole life. They didn't do well in public school and some are still talking about getting a GED. During the genX years the curriculum in public schools was watered way down but lowering expectations only served to more thoroughly lower the motivation to achieve for this population. Some became professional students and fit Koan's common reference to liberal academic types. They have little or no work ethic at all unless the work can be compared to video games or MTV. We used to call them the 'generation X' but the current generation of young people are not like that.
