What makes you say the 20's crowd today have a sense of entitlement? May be that has to do with more of the spoiled vancouver culture...but most stats all point to young Canadians having a tougher time than not just the previous generation but new grads a decade ago.
I do agree with the rest of your post that if you don't have much luck..you have to move to where the jobs are.

It's kinda sad how young adults cannot obtain jobs the traditional way and that persistence will likely not even pay off..y'know..going around office to office door to door with resumes. It's all word of mouth and who ya know.
