I'm afraid I have to disagree. The current generation is acutely entitled and lacking in constitution. I too have abundant experience with them as well, in every role you have described. Two years ago I finished my degree surrounded by them as a non traditional student. There were diamonds in the rough, but by and large they expected professors to conform to their whims, thought they were all entitled to an "A" for showing up (or not showing up), and academic dishonesty in every form was rampant. So I'm far from removed from the topic at hand.
You're right though, you can't blame everything on them, they have adopted the worst attributes of the X'ers (their parents) and Boomers (their grandparents) and molded it into their own mixture of fail.
Then again, when you find one of them who has persevered over the constraints of their generation, they can be really special, and not special in the way every participation trophy winning snowflake believes themself to be, but truly special. For they have overcome the odds and are the sole hope of the future. We have some of those guys on this team.
