I did take some issue with this paragraph:
> One was the obvious one: Unemployment. It is becoming very common for graduates to throw their hats in the air only to have them fall back and knock them in the head conscious. They wake up and realize this piece of paper with old English typography and curvy signatures is no guarantee to land a job.
In my experience, there were 2 types of people that prepared for jobs after college:
1. Some folks worked every summer, building connections and experience they could use to get later jobs. They were also working part time in the last year or two of college in an area directly related to what they wanted to work on after school.
2. Other kids basically either treated college as primo party time, or they just looked at it solely from an academic mindset. Point being, this group generally didn't do any preparation toward full time employment during their time in college.
So what I often saw with the group 2 people was that, in their last semester of college, they'd suddenly feel the anxiety of getting a job and would send out a flood of resumes during on-grounds recruiting, then they would lament how they didn't get interviews without really thinking much about (a) they had built no relevant experience in the previous four years and (b) their grades were often middle-of-the-road or worse, making it that much more difficult to stand out.
Point being, when you say "They wake up and realize this piece of paper with old English typography and curvy signatures is no guarantee to land a job." I mean, no shit. People have to take some responsibility for building the skills they'll need to get a job.
