A college degree isn’t a guarantor of anything. Yes, there are college seniors who have jobs waiting for them upon graduation, but those grads are more exceptions than the rule. Not everyone coming out of college is a superstar student. (And those who are tend to see themselves as representatives of the new species homo superior.) Job hunting after graduation can be a very humbling experience. The sad fact is when most former students are asked by a potential employer what was their greatest accomplishment in college, the frank answer is, “I graduated.”
