The young and unskilled in America

It seems as though, in this "get it done yesterday" way of life that is American and epsecially Californian society; The young and unskilled are all but excelling. This coming from my observation and personal experience. Those of us who are are "entry level" in the working world, are thrown to the wayside. Thought as nothing more than "nothing to offer". Or given a chance to work like dogs at a company they can never really progress "up the ladder". Though I can be and will be proven wrong, not all businesses are run by black-hearted, profit mongers. Which is fine, I don't mind being proven wrong.
But, more and more corporations, chains, etc. are always looking for the next best employee, by which they are more than willing to hire- as long as they have experience. What are we the "new blood" to do? For us it seems impossible to find work., especially in the smaller towns. We search and search, following every lead thrown our way. All in vain? Some more than others. Those who may have all the luck, get all the breaks etc. Who's to cast them down for being lucky? I'm sure I, as most of us would, would anxiously and eagerly cast down those lucky few to grab what we can get to support ourselves becase it's getting harder and harder everyday. It's always been that way. here in America, to varying degrees in varying loations; and especially the rest of the world.
And because so many American take their country for granted. So many waste the resources given to them, it's causing "those damn foreigners stealing our jobs..." to laugh at us. Because they work their asses off. They're doing their thing and we do ours. The point is no matter where you go, America or otherwise, those who have less, monetarily, resources, etc. Are always gonna have to struggle. Of course there are those who "come up from adversity to have great lives..." but for every one those, there are hundreds, even thousands, who are barely making ends meet. Those struggling the hardest at least for that short time in the beginning, maybe longer if their "working lives" let them.
I know this sounds like a sophisticated rant about how much its sucks to be broke, and in a way it is. But mostly I'm simply pointing out the hardships, among the giant heap of others the young have to face. It's all part of growing up and becoming an "ADULT". As this eonomy keeps going to shit, and more people struggle, becoming and adult will not be what it used to. It'll just mean you'll become a bitter, cynical, ravenous version of your younger self. Think on this matter, or not. Give me feedback, or don't. aAll I can say is take a look for yourself, and take it all in.
