With a diploma in one hand and a participation trophy in the other, today’s college grads are stepping into the real world woefully unprepared – and it’s not just the high schools, colleges and universities failing them, but their parents too. But let’s zero in on the colleges for a moment – because when they’re offering courses like these…
- Bachelor of Fine Arts in Puppet Arts – University of Connecticut
- Bachelor of Science in Adventure Education – Plymouth State University (New Hampshire)
- Bachelor of Arts in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion – Bentley University (Massachusetts)
Once upon a time, a college degree was your golden ticket to the American Dream. Now? It’s a $100,000 IOU attached to a crash course in TikTok dances and chronic tardiness. These places don’t teach much except how to be a good little liberal and push the Democratic narrative. But a real world education? Meeting deadlines? Showing up on time? Communication? Being professional? That seems to be missing.
According to a recent resume.org poll released recently, a staggering 80% of hiring managers reported that recent college graduates didn’t work out at their companies in the past year. Even more eye-opening, 65% had to fire one. The top complaints? A lack of motivation or initiative (48%), professionalism (39%), and excessive phone use (39%). Apparently, “proficient in scrolling” isn’t a marketable skill.

But it’s not just about screen addiction. Managers also cited poor time management (38%), an indifferent attitude (37%), and a general inability to adapt to company culture. In fact, 61% of managers described recent grads as entitled or too easily offended. It seems that navigating office politics is a bit more challenging than moderating a group chat. Yes, it appears that these coddled “Karens” can’t hack it in the real world.
Sure, you need college for careers like physician, airline pilot, attorney, engineer, or CPA – no argument there. But let’s be real: most of today’s jobs don’t require a fancy degree. In fact, you’d probably be better off learning a trade or getting hands-on experience instead of racking up student debt you’ll still be paying off into your ‘80s.
