Who’s surprised here. They don’t want to work hard, they act like children and the whole college protest thing has been getting tired since Viet Nam.
Is this really so surprising? Would you hire a recent grad from Columbia or Harvard?
The College Fix reports:
‘Unprepared and entitled’: College grads unpopular with hiring managers, survey finds
A recent survey from Intelligent found that “1 in 4 hiring managers say recent grads are unprepared for the workforce” and “1 in 8 managers [are] planning to avoid hiring them in 2025.”
The main reasons for this are lack of preparation, a so-so work ethic, and a sense of entitlement among the grads, according to the survey.
“24% of hiring managers believe recent college graduates are unprepared for the workforce, while 33% cite a lack of work ethic, and 29% view them as entitled,” the survey found.
“Additionally, 27% feel recent graduates are easily offended, and 25% say they don’t respond well to feedback.”
The survey results appear to mirror a trend found in recent headlines. A “2025 college graduate job market” search conducted by The College Fix produced the following headlines:
“Class of 2025 College Grads Face Uncertain Job Market”
“Job Market is Getting Tougher for College Graduates”
“New Grads Struggling to Find Work in Job Market
“No Hire, No Fire: The Worst Market for Grads in Years”
