As someone who recently graduated from college, I have to agree and disagree.
Yes, there's lots of kids out there who just want a handout. But also, there's a lot out there who are ready to work for what they want. I've been working since I was 16, etc. Had to do chores around the house and didn't get paid for it (I got a roof over my head as my folks said). I have friends who fit in both camps but really, I think when it comes to it, they'll buckle down and get work done. The problem is people have let them get away with slacking off they expect it to continue. When it doesn't, they're perfectly capable of stepping it up just as every generation in the past. And every generation thinks that the next generation has it easy. It's part of progress. Our lives SHOULD be easier than the previous generation's.
So, moral of the story, don't give up on the kids coming out of school these days. Some are ready to work for their money.
