I've been grinding away at my CS Degree as an adult. My work pays for most of it.

Instead they maintain their standard of living through parental subsidies (bad idea).
I work in the grocery business and it's astonishing the flip that has occurred in the last few years, these jobs have been traditionally filled by young people. Now most of the grocery store workers are old folks. This trend can be seen in nearly all service industry roles.

I'm noticing that too, as a grocery shopper. There are more older retired people working those jobs than ever. They're bored, they want a little extra spending money so they're willing to wake up early and go work those jobs.
Young people, in general, do not want to work those same jobs. I don't know why exactly. I have my suspicions like videogame addictions and enabling by parents but I don't know.
