Pro,
I misspoke, I meant to say “When you’ve been brainwashed for 16 – 17 years from grade 1 thought college”. My brain thought that but my fumbling fingers wrote the other.

I agree, this piece makes it sound like new grads are being altruistic in their pursuit of cushy government jobs. In my field (engineering and research) the government side is much better funded than the private with usually much lower risk and accountability.

“brainwashed for the last 16 – 17 ”

Longer than that.

Why do you think Ayers became a radical? His daddy was one of the wealthiest men in Chicago. Little Billy had infinite optiions…..he could have become a scientist, an artist, an entrepreneur, a doctor, a lawyer, anything.

But he CHOSE to become a murderer and to dedicate his life to inflicting a murderous philosoply on his country.

He didn’t choose that path because daddy led him that way, or because the popular culture of the 50’s adulated communist radicalism….he chose that path because he was singled out and brainwashed by his predecessors…..just like he has done with The Moron.

When you’ve been brainwashed for the last 16 – 17 years by a public education system run by the likes of Bill Ayers what do you expect them to choose? There is the right way which takes some intestinal fortitude in these trying times and then there in the socialist way which they have been programmed to revere, of course they will chose the easy, socially accepted way.

Colonel,
As far as having their souls sucked out, they’ve already lost them back in college.

While obtaining my political science degree, my dean and advisor told me “Go into the state-agency business, like the NYS Thruway Authority. Pays like private, benefits like public – with almost no oversight, endless job security and unlimited financing.”

Silly me chose a different course.

MBA’s are realizing their piece of paper is nothing more than a piece of paper. And I say this married to an MBA grad who agrees with me.

“Students don’t see the private sector as being as viable this year,”

Duh.

Look at the wealth of members of Congress and every single criminal on Obamy’s staff.

People look to their own self-interest. Pay no attention to the words.

Commissars rule.

But if I a student today trying to choose a career, I would study up on the French Revolution before I made my decision.

This is sickening. The ‘real world’ is dynamic, the world of government is bureaucratic, so why would anyone want to have their soul sucked out of them in the public sector? And I agree with SG, it’s rather sick when the best and brightest want to pass on the private sector – possibly thinking it’s a faster track (hmmm, wonder how?)…
