My older Gen-Z kid is unlikely to make a lot of money in their chosen profession, but I think they will be appreciated for their contribution to the field. My younger one will likely generate more taxable income. Both of them are awesome, as are most, but certainly not all, of their friends...and most of the kids I've coached in sports over the years, too. I think Gen-Z is just as capable and just as incapable as its forebearer generations. If I had to complain about any particular generation, it would be the Baby Boomers. So my grumpy old man rant is that the Boomers have taken more from the US than anyone before or since, and seem to think it's their birthright to weigh the rest of us down. But I'll stop there.
I'm really not a very grumpy old (middle aged) man. Except for people who use one space after a period and omit the Oxford comma. Those are bad habits--and also often attributes of Boomers.
