I recently spent some time with some new and recent college grads in a corporate training seminar. They dressed like slobs, spent class time on their iphones, and were generally illiterate.
Too bad I wasn’t there. I’m mid 20s, look 16 years old, and prefer business casual to business professional.
I at least would’ve wanted to be there.
“They dressed like slobs, spent class time on their iphones, and were generally illiterate.”
I’m in a technical field. May I add no understanding of basic chemistry, physics, thermodynamics, can’t read a schematic or blueprint?
Sounds like they already have the entitlement mentality.

I was walking towards my lab when a unwashed herd of sloppy, out of shape, grungy, unshaven kids and slutty looking girls with embarrassing amount of skin showing, all in flip flops, stumbling down the hall complete with iPod and cell phone addictions. I presumed they were HS students visiting the med school Wrong - it was the new class of freshmen medical students.
They have been watch House, ER, etc Hollywood crap. I am horrified.
Why did they get hired? We, at least, put our applicants through a variety of skill tests. Then they have to pass a drug test before they get hired. It weeds out a lot of them.
