A significant portion have only themselves to blame. They google most answers on the internet for their out of class assignments. Meanwhile, greek chapters and other organizations save old professor tests to give their members an edge in the classroom.
They don’t learn anything with all of those short cuts. They don’t learn how to think, just how to memorize a script or vary just slightly from that script.
Of course they are – for a career in academia. Professionally and permanently protesting and concocting made up areas of study like transgendered Medieval Italian racial botany puppetry.
A bachelors degree is neither supposed to prepare students for a career nor for job hunting. A bachelors degree provides basic subject matter skills and is often a ticket for entry into the job hunting arena. Prior to gaining interviews, new graduates should be able to take care of themselves in their private lives without supervision, should be able to work effectively within a team, have adequate social skills, and have acquired basic job hunting and interviewing knowledge. Preparation for a career is at its most intense during the first several years of working, preferably in the same field or related fields.
