The internet is laughing hysterically at a young woman who posted a video complaining that her first full-time job fight out of college has left her with little time to go to the gym or enjoy her life. And I’m not gonna lie - it’s pretty funny.

Good thing she didn't become a nurse. Try 12-13 hour shifts (often with no breaks) while raising kids and keeping a house.

Damn... during my first job on Wall Street as an investment bank, "Associate", I got into the office at 7:00am and didn't leave until 10:30-11:pm; worked half days on Saturday: This was how you "climbed the corporate ladder"....

And yet this younger generation wonders why…
But these days? Degrees in environmental poetry, drowning in $150,000 worth of student debt, complaining about having to work a full-time job? We're doomed.
