In the years after graduating, pretty much every break I got—all those small but pivotal early steps in establishing one’s career—could be traced back to that experience. Unfortunately, growing numbers of today’s college students are having a very different experience than mine. It’s not the education that’s changed; it’s the circumstances surrounding it. Increasingly, graduating from college no longer means putting your education to work for you—it now means being a virtual indentured servant to your education. Instead of propelling you into the future, more and more it means trapping you in the past.
