Don't know how many times I've said it...
They're raised in a world where EVERYONE gets a trophy.
Where if you show up you're on the team - REGARDLESS of skill - if you're on the team you play, and if you play you get a trophy.
There's no Dodge-ball, no cops & robbers. What games DO still exist? We don't keep score!
There are no winners, and hence no LOSERS!
EVERYBODY gets a trophy!
They've come up in math classes where it doesn't MATTER if you got the wrong answer, so long as you used the right "formula" and showed your work!
They've been through classes where spelling is never corrected - unless it's "spelling class."
"No child left behind" -- as we all know -- REALLY translates to "No child gets AHEAD", and this is the world these people are from!
They were encouraged to go to college - REGARDLESS of performance or ability - and in cases where they can claim membership in ANY "Officially-Sanctioned Victim-Group", they've been given preferential admission as if they were some sort of star athlete or performer!
Once AT college, they were encouraged to "follow your DREAMS!" -- to "Study what INTERESTS you!"
Not "Look at the market, try to figure out what's going to be needed in the future, and prepare yourself to fill that need" -- HELL NO!
Don't think -- FEEL!
And "If it FEELS good, DO IT!"
Are you a member of one of the aforementioned OSVGs? We have a special program JUST FOR YOU!
"Black Studies!" "Hispanic Studies!" Wymyn's Studies!" "Gay-and-Lesbian Studies!"
What? You're "Multi-racial" and "Poly-Amorous" an REALLY just prefer to read comic-books??
NO PROBLEM! You can get your degree in "Modern Transgender Afro-Hispanic Lesbian Art!!" GO FOR IT!
Because EVERYBODY GETS A TROPHY!
They've been told to "Stop and smell the roses!" -- So they took 6 years to get their 4-year pseudo-"Degree."
Spring-break in Ft. Lauderdale? WHY NOT!
Summer in Cabo? GO FOR IT!
RELAX!
EVERYBODY GETS A TROPHY!!
Then they graduate.
Parents demand they get a J-O-B, but they quickly find there's little demand for those with their MTAHLA (AKA "B-S") Degree...
Oh - there ARE jobs available, but...
Deliver PIZZA?
Wait TABLES?
Work at STARBUCKS?! or -- G*d FORBID -- Wal-MART??!!
Oh HELL NO!
DON'T YOU KNOW I'M A COLLEGE GRADUATE??!!
They're CONFUSED by all this -- after all, this isn't how things are supposed to be!
Where's the "FAIRNESS??!!"
WHERE THE HELL IS MY M0+#3R-F^(K!N& **TROPHY**??!!
**I <~DEMAND~> MY D@MN TROPHY**!!
Then they look around...
They see THAT guy who studied BUSINESS. Or maybe FINANCE. He busted his @$$ and graduated in three years, so he has very little debt.
HE *SKIPPED* Ft. Lauderdale and Cabo, instead taking unpaid INTERNSHIPS to build experience!
Then there's HER! *SHE* studied ENGINEERING! SHE worked 30+ hours a week, and paid her own way as she went through school. She waited tables so she didn't have to buy food, and wore clothes she bought at the thrift-shop -- so she graduated with NO DEBT!
Likewise, she worked HARD to get a USEFUL degree, and stepped right into a job thanks to one of HER internship summers!
THEY have jobs, and are making good money - WHY NOT ME?!
How come *I* have all this debt, and they have NONE?!
They **CHEATED**!!
WHERE IS MY TROPHY?!!
**I <~DEMAND~> MY D@MN TROPHY**!!
And... here we are!
