What is wrong with your kids?

@bschoolwiz

I am a non-traditional older student here at Iowa State. I have a degree and decided to go back to get a second degree in Engineering</p>

<p>What I see on a daily basis is a bunch of weak, superficial, unaware, materialistic young people who seem totally unable to deal with reality.</p>

<p>I am amazed by the number of kids that have already given up on Engineering simply because it was “boring” or because “it was not what they expected” after half a semester!!!

<p>Congratulations, you have just identified the students who will become part of the attrition statistics.</p>

<p>But don’t worry about them. Just focus on your own progress to your engineering degree.</p>
