Problems I have been running in to, being young and trying to work:
1) Older generations won't accept me in a position of authority over them (I was a department manager for some time) because I'm "just a baby"
2) 60 and 70 year old men tend to be in the highest positions of management. They have no idea what kind of working environment we want, therefore it's easy for people of our generation to get frustrated and feel like our wheels are spinning.
3) Simply put, all jobs want someone with experience. It's impossible to become experienced until someone takes the chance on you. Vicious cycle that prevents most from getting hired.
