New College Graduates (aka NCG's) seem to have no imagination
whatsoever, with boring personalities to match.

This is not a new phenomenon.
40 years ago, when I was doing college recruiting for engineers,
you'd see kids with a 4.0 GPA and skill solving equations,
but not even a tiny clue about what to use 'em on.
No creative ability.
No ability to associate or extrapolate.
Can't even bias a transistor.
Impressive-looking senior project, but couldn't answer the
simplest questions about what was really going on.

You don't get it if they don't teach it.
And if the teachers don't have it...

Exactly the same thing happens in industry with the stupid
manager mentoring more stupid engineers and managers.

It's a rare occasion when a gifted student has a gifted teacher
and works for a gifted mentor.

It's the circle of life...
or is it the spiral of death.

The problem is simple, too many of them are trying to be the chief,
when the majority of them have an interest and attribute to be
Indians.
