What is the general view of parents who just " hand" their children everything?

There's a girl whom is in my college course and is of simmilar age to me ( I'm 17, she's 18) and she has had bassicly everything in life handed to her. From 16-17, her parents didn't encourage her to get a job because she didn't need to. They just gave her money and paid for all of her driving lessons. When she passed her test, they paid for her car, insurance, petrol, everything. Her parents/family also have some connections with businesses, so as soon as she turned 18, her parents got her a job in a bar at the snap of their fingers. She didn't need to go on the Job hunt at all. Am I jealous? Absolutely. My mother says that her parents aren't really doing her many favours, as she has no idea what it means to earn something and she will struggle later in life. What are your thoughts?
