I agree, but how do we fix it? How do we fix an entire generation's idea of what they are owed? How do we get them to work like they need to?

Sort of like what Germany does, students are put on education paths that best suite them. They are put into higher education that specialize them into a job they can do well. Should we take up this idea? Or should we try another?

An excellent idea, but that's not really the cause of any issue we now have... What about the things you feel are wrong right now?
