How many recent college graduates do you know other than what you are fed by the media. None of those people graduated from college in the last two decades! I graduated from college 42 years ago and graduate school 23 years ago. Perhaps you are being a little too selective in your target selection for your ire?
I knew it but it wouldn't come to me so I looked it up..."Gilgamesh"
Maybe. I don't recall everything we covered in school. I was more interested in STEM fields than literature, history & mythology although I did find mythology a bit more interesting than history and much interesting than literature.
She spent two years studying "acting" at Yale. You don't spend two years studying acting anywhere and expect to learn very much. You're comparing her to a 4 year graduate who had to meet strict entrance exams. She likely did not.
And because she's white, and what you describe as "purty" even though she may not have been a real person, this is why you think all the rest of the world should be as enthralled with the tale or poem as the West & Europe?
And how does her not learning it in high school when she was not educated in the U.S. until she reached college, a negative mark against the American education system?
How does being exposed to the Odessey in school prepare one for real life? I don't get the connection.
Well if you're using Congress as the sample pool I can at least understand why you feel the way you do. Unfortunately.
Thank you for confirming my point!
I work with recent college graduates some of whom cannot figure out the basic simple solutions to problems and have no concept that life outside of school is not as simple and as black and white as they were led to believe it was in college. I don't have any ire over this you seem to be the one getting upset on here with people daring to have a different take on college than you maybe you should consider taking a step back and ask yourself why you are having such a hard time accepting that not everyone has had the same positive experience in dealing with graduates that you have? For some reason you seem determined to keep arguing over this till everyone agrees with you so feel free to continue if you wish it won't change the fact not everyone is going to view college the way do as I said before if all of your experiences have been positive great I'm happy for not everyone else's has and I'm sorry you can't seem to accept that nor am I going to try and continue to convince you of something you clearly don't want to accept so I am just going to agree to disagree.
You will note I also said in everyday life which means outside of Congress, media and entertainment.
I have no doubt that's true. Gen Z is the online, social media obsessed generation that have retreated into that world growing up, not all of them, of course, but many have some hard lessons ahead.
What degrees do these people have and if they are so underqualified, why the **** did you hire them? All I see from you is excuses. You cannot prove your allegations any more than I can tell you that your assumptions are wrong. Life outside of school is not a function of a college education, no matter what misguided beliefs you have.

I wasn’t “exposed” to the Odyssey at age 12, but somehow I had heard of it. I also hadn’t started reading Shakespeare at age 12, but I had heard of him as well.
