said by The Limit:I see, then we are in agreement it seems.
I had a feeling we weren't that far off.
said by The Limit:I just get frustrated when I see people making aimed accusations against college grads, which the accusation in question isn't true.
I didn't see the part in the article about this being aimed at college grads, but if I missed it up thread, I'm sorry. FWIW I wasn't thinking of college grads myself.
I understand your sensitivity, though. I have one in college now and another one heading there. In many ways I can't compare my time in college to now. The costs are even more outrageous, the economy and outlook for college grads wasn't as bleak, and therefore that pressure is higher - yet, like so many groups these days, just being in the group you're stereotyped.
"kids these days" - As generations before, My generation was once called that too.
I too get annoyed at some of the things said about students and post-grads because I
know how very hard mine have worked to get where they are and they are just starting out. Hard work has been clearly instilled in them, and lack of entitlement has too. I can't speak for all kids of course and some may not have these values - same as some adults.
said by The Limit:College is more difficult than holding a job down IMO.
I believe that's the case for you. But I will offer that there are people who have done both and their job was the harder one. It depends on the job too - And THAT brings our discussion full circle.
Good luck with your studies and thanks for engaging with me.
