单选题 Many people have an impression that the current generation of young workers has high expectations for salary, responsibility and job flexibility, but little appetite for hard work and little sense of loyalty to a company.
Many twenty-some things have a hard time making the transition to work--typically kids who've had success early in life and who've become used to getting instant gratification (满足). Most parents and schools often fail to prepare students for the realities of adulthood and working life. Many employers, from corporate executives to restaurateurs, agree with that. They think that college graduates expect to have in their first week everything that the veteran has worked 20 or 30 years to earn.
But many students disagree. They think that they were spoiled somewhat by the older generation, but "entitled" is too strong a word. They don't think they're deserving if they’re going to go out there and break their backs for the adult generation. And many of them ended up getting a job.
Some experts say that having high expectations, and tell the boss what they are, isn't necessarily a bad thing.
