Sounds like you haven't hired or even dealt with recent college grads for a few decades.

Honestly, I haven’t. Used to all the time but now, fortunately, I don’t have to.
Tell me about it. I went back for Grad School, online, between 2006 and 2008. About two-thirds of the class were kids who had just finished their Bachelor’s Degrees.
Master’s Program. Management of Information Systems. Most of the “youngsters” in the class had problems with spelling and grammar. About half had trouble arguing rationally from facts.
Truth be told, that was the first time I ran into a “Special Snowflake”, who, on a technical topic, argued for a totally unworkable approach because she “felt” it was right, and we had to respect her feelings, irregardless of facts. . .
I just fired one. An engineer from New England. He got mad because I expected him to work. The, he got mad I didn’t want to adjust the schedule so he could ski all day. He retaliated by charging tens of thousands on the company credit card. Will be fun seeing him in court.
