A shame CollegeDoog isn't here as he could learn a thing or two.

The author probably grew up like College Doog, then tells others to work hard.

Yes he woke up on third base and is bragging about getting a triple. The article wasn't that bad though.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:The author probably grew up like College Doog, then tells others to work hard.
I agree that this generation is the pussy generation though. -
I agree with some of the article. Part of the reason why it is the pussy generation is because of the parents. The parents of these kids in their 20's-30's all preached going to college. Back in the day, graduating from college gave people a real leg up on their competition. Now, everybody goes to college. It's getting really hard to get into college too. I would love to see a comparison of UW's entrance requirements now compared to 20 years ago. People still feel their college degree entitles them to a good salary, but it's just not reality.
I am starting to believe that if you don't go to a school in the top 10%, you are wasting your time. An Ivy League or a Stanford degree will probably pay off in the long run, but a lot of colleges are a big scam. It's a good investment if you major in a high demand field and keep the debt down, but many rack up a shit load of debt for a job that doesn't pay enough to justify it. You aren't only getting in debt, you are wasting 4-5 years of building a resume with prior work history, not to mention making money instead of taking out loans that you will pay off for years. -
The same parents also told them they were special and gave them trophies for coming in last place which is a huge part of the problem.RoadDawg55 said:I agree with some of the article.

You can go to any college if you get a REAL degree.RoadDawg55 said:I agree with some of the article. Part of the reason why it is the pussy generation is because of the parents.

Going to an average college to get a fucktarded liberal arts degree is the problem. -
True, but @RoadDawg55 is correct, but there is a sense of entitlement some people get just because of a degree. At this point it feels like a college degree is starting to become little more than a HS diploma and a Masters is the new higher education. Not that the masters is any type of guarantee, I've got some consultants at work now with very expensive education and hardly an ounce of common sense between them.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

In a social sense, they are totally pussies. This guy comes across as one of the people whose company was bailed out by....socialism for the rich, then turns around and tells others what to do. Wages/salaries have stagnated or gone done for most professions and jobs, the wife usually has to work now, college loans are soaking people. He ignores all of that. Want to start a small business? It's not like demand is high for some of the reasons I mentioned. But loansharking is good business right now. This is mostly just simplistic platitudes. Yes, I am a pussy liberal arts major, but facts are facts.He_Needs_More_Time said:

Here's a solution: kill all people.
That'll fix everything.
