Affluent college bound students
face the real prospect
of downward mobility
feelings of entitlement clash with
the awareness of imminent scarcity
there is a resentment at growing up
at the end of an era of plenty
coupled with reassessment of
conventional measures of success

wow -- i'm having a heart attack right now just reading that! =/
And non-affluent college bound students face being the same as when they entered college. No upward mobility...which is also depressing.
Good point snapandprint - it's a scary time for everybody, regardless. :/
I'm confused... since when does one use affluent and students in the same sentence.
Had to master the art-of-living on very little, minimalistic was not a decor and discovered how to make soya mince taste good :)
I always have a love/hate relationship with Jenny Holzer's work (is it really Art or just sloganeering?) but this is definitely very very close to home for me.
Eck...so true and scary! I had a hard time after graduating from college...a big hit in the face with the reality stick!
