Party, regurgitate the info back to the prof of what he/she wanted so you can graduate, and get out to earn the bucks. So sad. Now we are literally paying the price across the nation.<br /><br />Hopefully the next generation will think different (it cycles, yes,no?)I have tried to raise my college daughters differently; as leaders rather then followers. And it has breaks my heart to get a phone call and listen as they tell me "but mom, they still rely on their parents to pay for everything and they dont try to understand why im trying to be independent, they think someone else should take care of things rather then us". Wheres independence, independent thinking when you are held bondage by others taking responsibility for your actions?! I think my generation really messed up somewhere in all of this mess we have today...sigh<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your memories, though!!! :)Janice Grinyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14363741660626407979noreply@blogger.com
