College Students: Time To Grow Up!

And your first lesson apparently needs to be…
NO ONE lives in perfect! And chances are, you won’t either!
I’m not sure if these students realize that not everyone who ever wanted a college degree was able to get one. I’ve had to compete with Bachelor Degree holders against my two-year Associates Degree my entire life – and look at the attitude of my competition! But that 2-year degree was all I could afford without going into debt – if my white skin had even allowed me to get financial assistance in 1974. I didn’t fit into the “affirmative action” demographic. Did I disrupt the entire campus in response? No. Things are what they are – do your best and keep moving…
For allegedly educated students – do any of the current whiners ask themselves what they will do with these degrees – some of them advanced degrees – when there are few to no jobs?
I doubt it. And that’s a tragedy. Not being able to find a job so you can build your life and your future is WAY more important than spending weeks arguing over hurt feelings.
Does every black US college student who is currently complaining think that people of OTHER colors have perfect lives? Do white people live in a world where no one ever is nasty or unfair or vicious just because of white skin? Of course not. The fact that some of these students live in the artificial college environment until they are 30 years old explains some of this warped view of the world and its reality.
What’s REALLY going to mess with their heads is when they are over 50 years of age, have been replaced with younger or foreign workers, and find their Master’s Degree and any experience they have isn’t worth CRAP! You are just too old. We can hire others who will take less pay. I’m sorry I won’t be around to see this reality bite!! Only a few of you can be professors and spend your entire life living in theory not reality.
I’m so tired of the self-involved whining. “Someone looked at me wrong.” “He said a nasty word to me or drew a nasty symbol.” And on and on and on. I’ve heard first-graders who were more mature. Get over yourselves, get out of your own head, and start looking around you at some REAL problems. Maybe if you had some real worries, you’d have less time and interest in perceived slights.
