College no more........

[ryhoyarbie]

But as said in the very beginning, people are now expecting more than just a college degree. They expect a special "something". For example, Disney's own intership program states clearly that the people there don't want to teach you. Rather, they want to see what you already know & want to basically learn from that whether or not you could be able to work for the company.[/QUOTE

That's fine. But the only thing I learned from my last employer was I can work hard, come in on time, never call off, and put in the effort but they're still going to pay someone a year later more money even though they were just hired and are less experienced. They truly could have cared less about me honestly.

It's the same reason jobs are being outsourced. People here may be willing to do the job, but its apparently cheaper to hire foreign labor, despite all the cash it would take to get them over & to have them be supported.

It basically retold what was said at the beginning: College is no longer the free passport it once was.

Which backs up the point of why I made this thread.

But then again, it sucks for those whose parents expect college to be the golden ticket it once was.

Only thing I can say is do what you have to do to get where you have to go. Don't get discouraged.

Indeed. All we need do is keep trying.

Well nobody ever got anywhere by giving up.
