Baby boomers have raped the world, this is true on so many levels. Ex-hippies get very greedy...which makes sense if you accept that hippie culture was for a large part about personal indulgence. I will NEVER be able to buy a house, unless I get rich or manage to get some crazily well paid job. I have a degree...but so does every other fucker, hence devalued. Student loans, shit NHS, public services/council housing sold off. It feels like everything's been creamed and there's not a lot left for anyone in their twenties, thirties or younger. This is clearly not a just and tenable situation.
Whoever said earlier that the trick is to be either very rich or very poor and not in the middle, is probably right.
This applies to other fields... a lot of music/cultural journalists who started doing their thing and got established before the advent of the internet have managed to forge lucrative careers from it. Look at Paul Morley or someone. Try making any money from journalism nowadays. These guys would be working in call centres and submitting pieces for free to various websites. (But they'd get lots of promo CDs and guestlist...)
