These days when kids graduate from College they have no work experience. The illegal aliens have taken all the part time jobs that students used to take and most of these kids today think it is beneath them to work at McDonalds or Taco Bell and they borrow money rather than work their way through college and pay for most of it themselves.
Then when they get out of college with their worthless degrees and their $2000 a month student loan payments, the only full time introductory level jobs that they are qualified for are the jobs at McDonalds and Taco Bell that are all filled by the illegal aliens.
I think it would be plain foolish for a student in this day and age not to get some real world work experience. A future employer will be more impressed by that than by an extra course in urban studies.
