Your grade 1-12 teachers are, in some ways, paid to put up with your bullshit. They remind you about homework, listen you your excuses, etc. They understand that in many ways, you are still a child and that you do need help. College professors (based on my experience and popular wisdom) are less likely to fill that "parenting" role. You are expected to be responsible and to take the initiative. When you land a job, you are expected to perform. They expect that you will need help remembering to do your work, or to show up on time, or to be responsible for yourself. Today, it seems, that the "college experience" is being overthrown by the PC police. This is what some colleges are teaching those entering the workforce: Saying "Where are you from" is racist Saying "America is a melting pot" is racist Saying "Hey, can you guys help me look at this problem" is sexist\misogynist Telling a woman in leadership “I love your shoes!” is bad Referring to your co-worker’s girlfriend as “girlfriend” instead of “partner” is homophobic And on and on and on. And then these kids enter the workforce with an older generation who thinks the above list is absurd. There is going to be conflict and they older generation will wonder what happened to the youngins. They are incapable of living without finding ways to point to their victim hood or oppression. They will be at your job soon. Publicly shaming you or reporting you to HR for using the wrong word or asking "Did you and your girlfriend do anything fun this weekend?"
