It's hard for college kids to find meaningful jobs that are teaching life skills or even worthy of a resume, especially with the high amount of competition of the unskilled college workforce.

(d) The last one came in very sharp - been with all the 'gurus', but when it comes to the application of all those skills learned; realize that he is suffering from 'information paralysis'.It's important to note that all four (4) came in sharp, however, all but one lost that edge.
