A good number of them have never worked a day in their lives.  Interestingly, a friend of mine's daughter took a year off between her undergratuate and graduate school, and took a full time job.  The experience she had with working gave her a leg up for graduate school and for securing an internship.   The company told her that they rarely get young people that have experience in working an actual job, and they actually freak out when things get really busy and they have to work extra hours.  

My niece is a prime example - she is a junior in college and she has never worked a day in her life.  Her mother told me that they never thought it was worth her time to work at a minimum wage job.  

The sad part is that these young people have no idea of the satisfaction of having done work and been paid for it.  It gives young peope a sense of independence.
