Because recruiters love to go on and on about how "if the stock goes to a billion, you'll make a zillion," and they never, ever, ever mention that the stock might become worthless. The other thing is that we've had absolutely stellar economic growth since the 2008 crash, and no one under the age of 32 was working before 2008, so they really have no notion that the economy won't always be growing. It's just not on their radar.
