"Okay, I'm 24 years old. I graduated summa cum laude from Georgia State University. However, it's worthless, I presume? It doesn't mean anything that I practically spent all of my time reading in the University library."

I hope that I step on no more tobes when I bring up a new subject here...

Does anyone else find it interesting that sometimes a young'un graduates from college thinking no one else has ever gone that route...neither has another ever worked so hard or learned so darned MUCH???

I wish---just as a case study---f.f. up there would let me know:

Are you the first in your family to graduate?

I don't think I ask this with malace...I'm just curious as to what leads certain graduates to this concept of themselves...?????

Help an old woman understand???????

We get new young grads working for us often. They come in with an attitude, expect to start at 70K a year and the rest of us who have experieced life for 20 some odd years don't have a clue. It's not all new grads, but over the last couple years, it has increased dramatically.

Yes, I am the first in my immediate family to graduate. However, I have uncles and cousins who are graduates. My dad's brother is a college professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Or, if he isn't a "doctor", he's an instructor at the school.

No, I don't feel that no one else has been down my path. If you'll look at response number 350, I pretty much summed it up.
