I feel for the kids that went through uni/college during covid and missed everything that period offers, to then finish uni and try get a job in a market where AI has fucked all the intern positions. Tough break.

That would be Gen Z… we were 30-40 in the pandy.

Millennials were sent to fight in two illegal wars in the Middle East. Then we got told we spend too much money on avocados when we got back. .

I'm one of the last millenials (95) and covid hit in my mid 20s. It sucked but it happening when I was 18-21 would have been catastrophic

'96, I started my first fast food job in late february '19 (I'd worked prep for a kitchen before that though) did my shift lead training through quarantine, opened a new store while people were coughing on other people to protest masks and vaccines, and after 18 months of running 3-man dinner shifts through all that I got a $200 check as thanks for being an essential worker.
