[quote=Rt.66]I attended a grad cerimony for CSUSM yesterday and at just one of two cerimonies held that day for CSUSM there were a LOT of graduates. This is going on all over the country in every city. I could not help but think about the poor job climate they were entering. Not only are they adding to the available inventory of workers in a contracting market, 401ks being bankered into 200.5ks has dwindled the retirement ranks. More coming in and less going out.

I wonder how students seeking work are included in employment numbers? Anyway, its sad.

I wonder about future grads, too. Not that I’m so old, but when I look at kids today, many have it on easy street and have been shielded from struggle. It’s going to be a harsh world when they get out there. They’ve been given so much and the sense of entitlement has been instilled. Whenever I am in any business, I see how little effort had been put in by young people’s jobs and duties. I remember when I first started working, I was so thankful to have a job and gave 100% and went out of my way. The ambivalence of late was surprising and their effort was feeble.
