Gen X was the last generation to have a shot at the traditional path of school-college-career, but not old enough to fuck things up, and still suffer things like the dot com crash, major offshoring of tech jobs, 9/11, S&L crash, etc. but still able to get their foot in the door of a stagnant career. We didn’t suffer as bad as the millennials, but didn’t get the success of boomers either. Just generally ‘meh’ generation. Well, except for some kick ass music and movies. The hair tho…
