The current student believes their educational experience did not adequately prepare them for the real world of work. In school, classes and professors are constantly changing, whereas work provides stability with one boss and schedule. Additionally, no amount of education fully prepares one for the job-specific training required. While some students are happy due to having the right mindset, many are unhappy because they did not take advantage of opportunities. Finding a job was difficult, requiring hundreds of applications with few responses. Experience helped but connections were also important for obtaining prestigious positions. Educational institutions could better simulate having a boss and responsibility, as in the real world employees are replaceable.

The document discusses research showing a disconnect between Generation Y and older generations in business. Generation Y is seen as less employable while business leaders are seen as out of touch. The document argues that businesses must shift from training to educating employees to develop critical thinking skills in order to succeed in a knowledge economy. Traditional training methods are no longer effective for Generation Y and education is needed to develop self-reliant, autonomous knowledge workers. If businesses do not make this shift, they will fail to adapt to changing times.
