college helps protect the sheltered brother. when most sheltered kids hit the real world and work with adults they struggle a whole lot more than someone who went to work full time directly out of HS such as a trade school.
i have friends who have been working for years in construction and a lot smarter because they are battle tested with paying bills and maybe a few kids. however, the kid who has book smarts are better suited for technology based jobs where techinical language and writing is important.
just a matter of ur personality type brother. college yuppies are just sheltered so they think they know it all. in the same respect men who grew up faster because of real world experience tend to hold a grudge towards those who lived a more sheltered and luxurious life.
Dude, a lot of college kids work and go to college at the same time. And, the elite have big $ jobs waiting for them, so I doubt they struggle too much when they enter the workforce.
