    There is a misunderstanding in todays youth that college is a
    social club with the side effect of gaining an education. Few
    kids choose their school on quality of education, but rather
    how big the parties are/what the scene is like.

Source? This seems extremely anecdotal.

    Life after college isn't hard at all. This generation is simply
    not used to feeling ANY discomfort or pain in their sheltered
    little lives.

This is hyperbole and personal opinion presented as fact. HN is not the place for this kind of writing.
