Study reveals rocketing sense of entitlement on U.S. campuses.

[evandael]

College is a valuable experience, just like every experience is a valuable experience. I don't look down on people for not having gone to college. But plenty of people on 'the other side' are very quick to judge, condemn, point fingers, or just outright hate.

Goes to show you it's been worth something, at least to me.

hippies from town have legues where everyone wins in sports, so dumb, how are they ever going to get better or know that it's not for them and move on.

We need that link for the Harvard entrance test from 100 years ago.

Students have gone astronomically downhill.

george bush doesnt care about black people

Hehehehehe, we all know the answer.

Lol, and Mr. Elite wants to know...no the people that dislike me the most want to know. How typical.

Read his posts, and I'd said the answer would be fairly obvious. I can't even get him to answer a question as to whether he graduated high school or not.

I do find it funny that Josh is posting a link to an article lamenting the increase in unconscious ignorance.

But is he a US citizen. I for one would like to see proof of a birth certificate.

Yeah on this we agree

The work ethic of most people young and old is not what it was a 100 years ago either.

Its the special snowflake generation, combined with the factory University system, and the demonizing of Actual WORK. No one wants to go out there and DO work, WORK has become a dirty 4 letter word to my generation (the very start of the snowflake idea I was born in 1980) and to the bulk of those that have come after me. No one wants to go out and get dirty and do a labor intensive job or learn a trade for a reasonable wage, and earn a "honest living" anymore everyone thinks they are going to be the next CEO of Oracle or some shit like that, because they got an MBA in business and now know it all. Recent young Engineering grads are the same way (sorry you guys that just finishing up) the go arounds I have had with 1st or 2ed job out of school engineers with no practical real world experience in anything but sandwich artistry, made me want to pull all my hair out.

Its a product of the YOU MUST GO TO COLLEGE, mind fuck that has been placed on all of us since we enter into elementary school. There are lots of ways to go out and make a better living for you and your family than the perceived hard and fast college rule. We have hired several recent college grads in the last couple of years, because we are busy, and need hands, and we are compensated well. All but 1 didnt make it past week 2, too long of hours, too hard of work, had to get up between 430-530am EVERY DAY. They all want that nice pay check every friday, but are just unwilling to work for it. And its not like what we do is that hard of work most of the time, and I make it easy on my helpers when they are green as grass so long as they are making an honest effort and are trying to learn.

And I will say this College has its place, just as it always has. From a practical stand point, for the bulk occupations out there, an Apprenticeship would be far better at training you for the work you want to be doing.

It's not just the in the locations of higher learning, I bet it's in the lack of skools to.

Neuter and spay, it's the kinder way.

I agree with most of what you said, but if you didn't learn anything about life or people in college, you did it wrong.

By "school" i meant grade school. I'm still in that college thing. Definitely learning some shit there
