And Get Off My Lawn!

My friend Too Old to Work, Too Young To Retire lays the smackdown on the younger EMS generation and their work ethic (or lack thereof). The money quote:

Chivalry might not be dead, but it’s not working tonight.

I ROFL'ed at that one, and I'm adding it to the many lines I've stolen from my friend over the years.

At the risk of sounding like an old guy myself – and TOTWTYTR was a veteran when I was a rookie – I've noticed the same thing myself with the under-thirty set. So is it a generational thing, or the type of people we're attracting to EMS these days?
