Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I'm a recent graduate in a unique field. Recently I was flown out by a company via standby travel for an interview. I go to the job interview and botch it. So I leave and go the airport hoping to get on an earlier flight  (an interviewer told me the flights were full the next few days to my destination and  they're flying me home standby). I get to the and don't make it on the flight since Im so low on priority (standby is a free ticket for airline employees as long as there are seats and prioity is based on seniority with the company) Since I don't work for the company I had the lowest priority. The last flight of the day comes and I didnt get on. So I called the rep from the company I interviewed with and they were nice enough to put me in a hotel for the night. Then they said if I don't get on the first flight tomorrow, call the company and they will "figure something out because it's our responsibility to get you home". 

The next day I didn't get on the flight so I emailed and asked if there was anything they could do to help get me home. They respond and told me flights were pretty full for the next 3 days and advised me to buy a ticket. 

Tickets are nearly 700 dollars but I didnt have much of a choice.

So I put the flight on my credit card and leave later that day. I had interviewed for another job a week before unsuccessfully so was feeling down. 

I get home and call my mentor from an internship wanting advice. I told him the situation and he called me (and the entire millennial generation) entitled. He said the company didn't owe me anything.

Then he goes to reference my internship. 

At the end of the internship my performance was reviewed on a scale of 1-5. During my evaluation, I was given all 4s. So I ask what it would have taken to get 5s and they said I would have had to rescue the CEO's wife from a burning building. I laugh and say ok. 

Back to the phone call. My mentor references me asking that in my evaluation and says that I am entitled cause I thought I deserved 5s and that if I didn't change that mindset I would stay the "loser" that I am right now (after not getting the two jobs) and that he wants me to be a winner. 

I later say that I'll be in his area soon to visit a nearby military base to "see if it is a good fit" (if I were to join I would be spending 10+ years with the people at the base so I thought this was fair to say). He responded by saying that sounded ridiculous and just shows how entitled I am and that if I want it bad enough I should just make sure they like me. (He has no experience in this process) I thought that was obvious but there are other units around the country and each one has a unique culture and I'd like to join one that I like.

He ended the conversation by saying I need to stop thinking the world owed me something. 

Now, after all that, am I the entitled asshole?
