I also dealt a lot with new grads coming out of University. I've found an increasing expectation of "everything, now!" from them. Seems that they don't see the need to work hard and put in your time to get the experience and knowledge that you need to succeed in business. It's almost as if they expect an executive level position right out of school based on their "knowledge" from school. "Entry level work? Pfft. Not for me." seems to be the rallying cry from many of them. I hate to say it but a certain group of grads from the Haskayne School of Business seems to be especially bad for this (and I say this as alumni). Then again, I think it's also a matter of companies not being truthful during the recruiting process.
