Haskayne School of Business students are notorious for this. I know - I'm in that faculty. No matter how hard they beat the concept of "what can I do for the company" into us, there are those that strut around demanding the employer to beg at their feet for his/her services. Many Alumni and Co-op students are guilty of this. I think it's embarassing. Some of these people will not do the entry-level program at their first company because they think they are worth more than that; they demand high compensation, a plethora of benefits, and a work schedule that best fits their needs.
To all Haskayne idiots like this out there: sorry ladies, pay your dues like everyone else and bite the bullet working your way up the ladder. Despite what whacked-out misconceptions you may have in your heads, there is no elevator to the top.

Haskayne students? Cocky? noooooooooooooo.
I agree though - it's way too prevelant and is one of my pet peves, especially talking to buddies close to graduation (I only want IBanking, Oil&Gas, Xdays off, Xpay, Xhours, Xbenefits).
Hey Ozy/IHH/MrSki/etc, which concentrations do you find are particularily cocky? For me it's mostly the MKTG & FNCE types. I think us accounting types right now are a tad better because it's engrained that we start at the bottom no matter what, and kinda know the hard work that's required to get up there...but I'm biased, and you may see things differently B)
