I enjoyed the article. I really like the passage where it said:

"The Stanford Illustrated Review, a precursor of Stanford magazine, appealed to alumni for help in employing recent graduates. “These men and women . . . face a far harder and down-at-heel world than that which welcomed you.”"

While we can complain for years about the heritage our parent generation have left us - education cost, housing prices, healthcare, or a struggling economy - without seeing things change, we are responsible to pave the way and make it better for the generation to come.
