So, not only are boomers a worthless generation, but they also managed to contaminate their childrens' generation. Fear the
millenial sissies.At Florida State University, parents of graduating seniors haggle with job recruiters. They want to make sure Junior gets a good salary and work schedule.
University administrators have a name for these baby boomer moms and dads who hover over their offspring's college lives.
"Helicopter parents," says Patrick Heaton, FSU's assistant dean of student affairs.
The worst of them - those who do unethical things, like write their kid's term papers - are branded "Black Hawks," a nod to the souped-up military helicopters.
Wow.
Anyway, a somewhat unscientific article, and it by no means condemns the entire generation, but I knew kids with parents like this growing up, and they tend not to amount to much. Ultimately this is a self-defeating behavior, and what kind of recruiter would hire a candidate whose parents are still micromanaging their lives? Sounds like a crappy employee to me.
