I may sound like an old dude but I don't care. I think many kids in (US) college are just soft. They haven't worked a day in their life at a job where they broke a sweat. They haven't did back breaking work. They aren't hungry enough. Its not all their fault. They are products of their parents and the fiat world.

I'm incredibly grateful for my father teaching me to work and even for having to work some really hard physical jobs. It gave me a work ethic I would not have had otherwise.

I've also been a manager of engineers and seen the difference between guys that came from blue collar careers over to engineering vs. guys that came straight out of college. Huge difference in ethics and attitude. The college system is full of rot. Its been a long time since I was in college but I was continually annoyed by the progressive entitled attitude perpetuated in these systems.
