One other point to keep in mind - young people today are no different than young people at any time through history. Don't fall into the "kids today" stuff - we were no different - 'cause then, you're one step from "Hey kids, get off my lawn!".
You're looking at the passage of childhood to adulthood. Expecting 20 year olds to be 100% mature and adult in all situations isn't realistic. This is not a slag at all - most have had to be responsible for their actions as adults for a very short time.
You'll get raw talent, energy, enthusiasm, willingness to learn and experiment, and passion. You MAY also get inconsistency, randomness, recklessness, lack of focus, etc. Mentoring isn't always easy, but the rewards can be great.

yea man...i'm only 25, and i'm already bitching about "kids nowadays". then i remember what i was like when i was a kid, and straighten myself out. i'm sure my parents were just as big of shitheads when they were young as i was.
that, and if kids today really ARE that lazy and worthless and rude or whatever other adjective you want to apply to them, it's the fault of the adults who are in charge...both in their household, and outside of it.
