The question itself sucks because it's asking me to lump college students together as one giant glob of sameness. Granted, most college students I meet are on auto-pilot. Not yet awake to their awesome ability. Being killed bit by bit by their fears. But many that I meet have a wild ambitious look in their eyes and a fire in their guts.
Robust economy means nothing.
If the boom subsides, those without their own dreams will suddenly be lost when the recruitment fairs dry up. But those with their own dreams will still know exactly where their going. I'm not boring. I'm not conservative. I'm not afraid.
