I don't buy this for a second. People don't become self aborded like that due to anything except that thier idealogical concepts no longer function once they get into a real world model.

What is this unreal world that university students live in? Unlike previous generations, virtually every student I know has to work while in school, lives on their own and has to deal with rent and is in debt. What is it that the real world still has to shock them with that makes their old idealogical concepts unworkable?
great point

one I honestly never thought of, and being a university student, that kinda surpises me.

Rent, work, loans, paying for courses/books/materials, budgeting time. You're right being a student today is also a crash course in "the real world"
