Minimus,
I definitely can't win your poll for I'm neither first nor last. Anyway - to help you to get your statistics done:
Born into it 1967, decided to get out in 1980.
As already mentioned: What a waste of time (and of energy and childhood, not to mention the aftermath).

An observation:
It seems the younger generation is not sticking it out for years and years and years the way we "older" ones did. . . glimmer of hope here!

Min,
Dunked in 1975 (and I didn't even sell my house, or rack up a buncha debt) due to the "Crystal Blue Persuasion".
Bye Bye: Had seen to much, and had enough by 2000.

Not in (yet!?)
To date I've only had 3 studies with a P.O.
Slow progress as the guy just doesn't know what to make of me.
