A lot of fresh college grads don't understand about their degrees:

As you go up in the ladder, companies don't want coddled young adults that have been led around the nose. They want people who are self-starters.

As colleges spoon feed students more, degrees become worthless.

As you move up he ladder, you begin to see that every job gets less and less supervision until you're doing the supervising.

Supervision means that companies and organizations need to hire new associates to do the supervising or overload existing employees. Its about value.

If a company has to hire someone to tell you what to do all the time like your college professor did, then they won't pay you much or they'll go out and get someone with _______ years of exp.

This is the reason why so many are jobless fresh out of college & drowning in debt.

Colleges are SO EXPENSIVE because they have these multi-million dollar endowments and their base of students have become so infantilized with things like Rate My Professor, that they don't want to go anywhere except with professors that hold their hands.

Colleges are daycares.

I became a scientist with only a BSc. because of these factors:

- PhDs are usually over-qualified w/ little practical exp & demanding.
- My boss/mentor has dealt with these types for years.
- My self-starting nature & entrepreneurial spirit gave me an advantage.

Repeat after me:

"Employers hire for skills, not for added bills."

If you're a diversity hire that requires leading, constant watch, and instruction, then you are a bill.

And don't get me started on whether you need added HR assistance because of 'microaggressions'.

Very few employers have the bandwidth, patience, or funding to put up with employees like that, but unfortunately this is what colleges are breeding and putting out into the workforce.
