I see a good work ethic in young people around me all the time. They usually come from outside of North America (or at least their parents do). Much of it is cultural. The biggest factor is individual. You are responsible for yourself; no one else is going to take the responsibility for you. I think many here in North America have lost that idea. It's time to reclaim it.
