These kids today expect everything to be handed to them and boy are they in for a shock when the real world kicks them in the [BLEEP]

I'm not a boomer but i was brought up to belive in a honest days work of a honest days living. 

I started with a pressure washer i borrowed from my dad in college and then made my own small business that now have contracts with JEA(cleaning all the substations in jax once a year), UF health and shands(dong parking garages once a year), and C&L Landscaping( cleaning all of the residential and commercial jobs) and currently has 3 trailers and 2 other employees not including myself. My father showed me how to log on my sunbiz to create my llc and become workers comp except but  the work ethic he instilled in me built a small biz that not only got me through college, but has allowed me travel and be my own boss well after i graduated. 

Are a lot of millennials lazy, Sure. But ive seen lazy [BLEEP] older people as well. I employed quite a few when i took on UF health parking garages for the first time( i had to get labor from a temp agency). I would never gauge a person off age, to me that is almost as discriminative as gauging someone based of race.
