Bump on the Nose Shows Higher Education Critique
An editorial from the Rotarian Magazine argues that many young graduates lack work ethic and independence. It cites a freeman university trustee remark about a 23 year old PhD student who expects others to arrange his livelihood. Employers note graduates demand high pay and fun work, yet avoid real effort. The piece laments parental indulgence and teaching theory over life, urging self reliance and service.
