A college student contemplates the dim job prospects he and his peers face:
Our generation is, for the most part, one that hasn’t ever had to get its hands dirty or do what some people call, "honest work." It might be heartbreaking, yes, it might be depressing and demeaning, yes. But to a certain degree, it humbles us and whether we like it or not, helps us realize how much better we have it than someone like Kotar from Ghana, or the cab driver who picks you up from the restaurant where you have just dropped his nightly after-tax wages on drinks. Some may even argue that it educates us for the jerks and horrible bosses we will inevitably encounter even in sought-after careers. It’s good to learn early how to deal with these people. And it is strengthens us by humbling us.
That being said, it remains to be seen if humility will help us pay our student debt.
