#8 is, of course, completely true.

I didn’t understand some of those.

Maybe I’m stoopid today.

It's easy to be a liberal in college. You live a relatively sheltered life and most everyone around you shares liberal views on everything. Atheism is real popular, too, especially when you see the opportunity to have easy sex, get drunk and smoke pot almost as a badge of honor. Suddenly, all those Sunday School lessons are forgotten and religion is labeled 'superstition' to justify doing what you would never have done at home, under your parents supervision.

Once graduated and living in the 'real world', things quickly change. Responsibility is suddenly more than getting a paper in on time and screwing up your responsibility can cost you a job or, at least, a promotion or raise you were counting on. In the real world, everyone isn't equal and everything is not always 'fair'. You don't get an award just for showing up at work. Few people care what you think or your ideas for 'world peace'. You quickly learn that not everyone thinks Obama is 'brilliant' and his critics 'racists'. This can be disturbing.

All this is a lot to process for some naive college graduates who thought they were the center of the universe. I refer to this period of adjustment as one of 'character building'. It will either make you a wimp seeking a free ride paid for by others or a self-sufficient person capable of dealing with the real world. Sadly, too many grads fall into the former category.

I like #5 the best

I’m not sure any of these came from individuals who have actually supported themselves out in the real world. Still too self absorbed.

As bad as the job situation has been, we’ve had to fire two new hires, recent grads, one because she just absolutely could not stop texting to the detriment of the job she was being paid to perform, and the other because he just couldn’t stay awake.

Isn’t that pitiful?

A Few Things *Conservative* College Students Suspect About the Real World:

1) The US military can and will kick anyone’s ass, anytime, anywhere. Well, maybe not in Africa, because nobody wants to go to [expletive deleted] Africa.

2) I wonder how many of my fellow students believe that useless Marxist crapola taught by these professors?

3) What do you mean concealed carry is against the rules on campus? What leftist idiot thought that one up? I’ve been..., uh, well, gee, I hope they legalize that soon.

4) The more I learn about leftist Democrats, the more I think they need their own homeland, in Africa.

This poster’s two simple rules for job success for new grads:

1) Have and use an alarm clock. Every single day.
2) No whining.
