i just don't see this on a wide scale as you do. I think I recall more of it when I was in my teens rather than my 20's. Perhaps I'm dealing with a different demographic (I am surrounded by hard-core academia). I'll occasionally run into someone who is as you describe - without discipline, hating the world... but not often.
Lack of discipline comes from poor parenting coupled with substandard educational expectations. Lack of direction comes from their needs being met without effort of their own. If they need a career to get by, they'll have one. If their parents provide, or they find a way to work a system to scrape by - they will. I'm not sure how a father figure would change this trend. A mother could just as easily enforce standards and provide a reasonable level of discipline to encourage personal growth and goals.
I hope this is an understandable response.
