Members of the Everybody Gets a Medal Generation (born 1986-present): what time do you wake up in the morning?

Why does anyone bother replying to the miserable old man who starts these threads?

born 1987

get up: 4:45 AM

Born in 1985, looks like I don't count.

Born 2001. Spend my days going to class, actually I don't show up unless I get medaled. But then everyone medals in my gener8n, so I never show up. Haven't since 2008, when O took office. Most of the time I drive my mom to therapy, and taking floggings from my pappy, who I suspect has something of a punishment complex.

I DO save 15% of all my earnings as a nest egg for when I retire at age 80, even though actually I follow a 'live fast die yung' policy, so I'll probably not work ever, once I reach drinking age. Actually I barely tuck away 10%, and even that is just cash my parents give me (we're from OC, after all)

born 1992. Body won't let me sleep past 8 no matter the occasion. Usually up before 7 though.

College student mid semester is not a valid example.

Cut the age group from 1986-1993.

I'm a '95 and i wake up at 9:00 everyday during the school year.

During summer I am up at 5:00 to run, leave for work at 7:00.

Who gave out these medals and trophies to all of us?

Communists.

Typically around 5 am to make it to my 6 am shift to work for my university's catering business before my classes.

Hey Geezer - don't hate because young bucks can sleep in and still accomplish way more than you do in any given day.

I wish I could tell you about the highly productive young Americans in my office, but we none. Virtually all recent hires have been from abroad - they're much more skilled than the 20-something Americans we interview. When I read the news, I see lots about is how your generation is failing to get jobs after graduation.

And we wonder why wages haven't increased.

Look, some dude from another country is sloppy-dog desperate to get into this country and will be your company's slave. You can't compare desperate overseas workers to homegrown talent just like slave labour in China or desperate East African runners.

I'm an open market guy but we should have controls in place that slow down our country's race to the bottom (kick out illegal alien criminals , reduce worker visas ).

I usually wake up at 11-11.30

Had to be up at 09.55 today. Hard work

Would all of you stop responding to this dolt.

Every day it's the same 2 or 3 threads just worded differently.

usually around noon. at an ivy league law school.

Born in 88 and never attended any event that gave out medals/ribbons past 1st/2nd/3rd. Even in school science fair I got third one year 4th didnt even get mentioned. Previous generations make the decisions that influence future generations.Always funny to hear someone complaining about a generation. You are not any better for waking up bright and early. It all depends on what you do in life. If you work a job that requires an early start good for you. If you work a job that starts later good for you. Most important thing is to be a productive member of society. I always had to get up early in college b/c I ran, which meant trying to get to bed at a decent time. Fun thread love the sarcasm and the serious answers.

Usually between 5 to 5:30 so I have time to run before work. But sometimes I do have to get up around 4 to fit in my morning run if I have something especially early at work.

How's that for you member of the generation that enabled the everyone gets medal generation.

I have always tried to work smarter, not harder. I get a kick out of my peers who brag about how many hours they put in. Many are in well-paying positions. I put in about half as many hours per week as they do and take home about the same amount -$110K

b.1988 Get up about 7:30am.

Born 1964. Gainfully employed...full-time, Mon-Fri hours, communications field. Single father of children who are involved in extracurricular academic activities and year-round sports. Avid trail runner and mountain biker. Prolific writer as an avocation. Amateur musician.

I go to bed at 2:00am and wake up at 5:30am. I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead.

Born in 87. I won third play in a spelling bee against a single competitor. There was no 2nd place winner, which is how I won third. :-)
