This article is spot on, and I should know since I’m a college professor. Every semester my classes are filled with kids whom either shouldn’t be there, or don’t really want to be there. In the end, they run up debt, waste years doing nothing, and end up with a worthless piece of paper. Now throw in the dynamic of an entitled millennial generation and a ed-u-cart obsessed liberal faculty, and you have yourself a toxic mix.
I agree. Many students graduate and expect to be able to "follow their dreams". They are not flexible in taking jobs that are available. Many want to start at the top and are mystified when the seas will not part for them.
They need to bring their dream to the job avaiable not wait until their dream job is laid at their feet.
I tutored a law school writing class and several people wrote like 6th graders. It was so bad! Then I taught some college courses at a graduate level (in a different area than law), and again, they were so bad! I'd classify them as the middle tier in high school back when I attended high school. Not nowadays, obviously.
