So at 22 years old how many people do you think “are smart enough” to know what the industry requires?


At 22 years old I expect people with the resources and the mental faculties to attend a university to do the bare minimum and have no sympathy for those who refuse to do so.

I would never hire someone who didn't have the intelligence or initiative to look up basic information and apply it, regardless of whether they lucked into a degree. It isn't the professor's job to waste valuable education time spoon feeding you. If you can't read the document the professor provides to you and figure it out, then you're investing in a lost cause. THAT is not the university's fault, it's yours.
