Sounds like a lazy generation who needs to learn to work harder.

I bet if welfare wasn't as high, we wouldn't have this problem.

Perhaps you can give a specific example of how high welfare benefits are.

Maybe a lot of them are aspiring young artists or entrepreneurs waiting for that first big break?

This.
It seems so many people forget this fact. Can't count the number of stories about how Grandpa went to the plant to get a job after he knocked Grandma up, in 10th grade. In today's world a bunch of college grads still can't support themselves, much less a family. People who aren't "college material" or don't have the financial means just don't have many viable options nowadays. When will we learn that we have sold a generation down the river with our desire to selfishly save a buck while shopping at Dollar General.
