the reply from 'adrusi' pretty much explains the 'millennial stereotype' to a tee. similar to other articles and conversation on here re: actually showing up to work on time. people have a problem with this? why do in 10yrs what most can do in 4? why work hard? why aren't we like Europe? a lot of crying but very little work ethic. most millennials were brought up by helicopter parents who tended their every need, and on kissed every boo-boo. These same millennials demand that society treat them with respect, and then actively avoid anything that would let them earn that respect. Sorry, getting a BS degree in pop-culture & disc golf is not something that will get you automatic respect. My doctor is a 'millennial', younger than I am by a stretch. She broke her ass doing it. I respect her more for it.

Granted - this is the stereotype and doesn't apply to all - but does apply to most of the ones I've interacted with, interviewed and worked with, and of course, read about in the 'media').

true - degrees cost vastly more today than they did just 10 years ago. But look at the education structure. Look who its led by. Your deans and professors are no longer happy with tenure. They want the Mercedes, the flat screens, the 2nd house, the IRA, etc... The current education system is the mirror equivalent of the military industrial complex in terms of money. If you want to go after someone for expensive college, go after the schools and the politicians - not society in general.

btw, have you seen Europe lately? Venezuela?... people like to point to these as panaceas, without knowing the intimate details of the individual countries and how the education systems work there. Want to be an engineer? pass a test. can't pass? here's a mop.

how about Asia? there is massive and wide-spread cheating in India and China because of their systems. doesn't exactly make for a solid and ethical work base.
