The park derives a considerable income from the parking passes that the pet owners purchase for the privi- lege. Many bikers do not pay to use the park and have the right to bike any- where they choose in the entire park therefore it would be prudent for them to avoid the leash free area, or at least be aware of the special circumstances of this area and plan their routes accordingly MARISSA GARDNER, OAKVILLE Cyclists abusing leash free area Continued from page 6 Re: Adulthood is proving elusive for todays twenty-somethings, Oakville Beaver, Aug. 26 Columnist Andy Juniper wonders why young people are not reaching adulthood these days. Adulthood is traditionally identi- fied with owning a home, having a career, start- ing a family. Although he mentions that one possible reason for this is economic, he does not give this enough attention. Young people leaving school these days face a very different job market from their parents generation. Whereas their parents could count on rela- tively stable, well-paid employment with a modest amount of education, young people today must take on five and even six figure debt for much longer periods of post-secondary education, only to find themselves working at temporary, part-time, and lower paid jobs. The career that Andy Juniper thinks young people should have is largely extinct, even for those with high levels of education, outstand- ing marks and an active history of volunteer experience. Young people work a string of jobs, often more than one at once, in order to afford a very modest lifestyle. The combination of a lack of adequate income and massive debt makes owning a car or home, or starting a family impossible. There are solutions to this situation, howev- er. Properly funding post-secondary education would reduce the crippling debt young people graduate with. More closely linking education with employment, particularly at the university level, would help transition them into the work force. And job creation and regulation strategies that create stable, well-paid jobs would help to give young people the income necessary to buy a home and start a family, things that many of them desperately want to do but simply cannot afford. It is easy to play upon stereotypes of young people as lazy or immature, but this ignores the reality of our current economic situation. For the first time since the Industrial Revolution, the younger generation faces a substantially lower standard of living than its parents, despite having far more education. Young people may find aspects of their par- ents lifestyles overrated, but none of them enjoy the relative poverty and economic inse- curity they live with.
