  1. This was a very interesting article for me to read especially because I was one of those kids who was in no hurry to get my license. For me personally it was because I knew I didn't necessarily have to, I could take the bus or my mom could drive me, but I do feel as though the reason that our generation has no motivation to move is because we are comfortable. I agree that it is also because we've grown up in tough economic times. It's easier and a lot more comfortable to get a lesser paying job in your hometown and you know that you can keep that job, rather than moving to an entirely new place and there being a chance that you could lose this new job and you'd have to come home anyway. I also agree with the statement that our generation relies on luck. Our generation, and even myself, just kind of sit around and wait and see if opportunities arise rather than going out and finding them. I do however disagree that young people don’t go out because they’re sitting at home on Facebook, there is Facebook mobile, so that’s not an excuse. I would like to know if they think there are more reasons than just Facebook and the economy that inhibit people from leaving?
