A college degree doesn't mean you should automatically get a job. A college degree is to better prepare you for the workplace. If you truly have a great work ethic and aren't afraid to make some sacrifices, you'll have no problem getting a job. The problem with people today is that they think everything should be given to them. They don't believe they should earn it. College is a choice, not an obligation. There are some careers where you don't have to go to college and some where you have to go for several years. Either way you can't expect someone to give you something you didn't earn. You have to prove your worth through hard work. Simply jumping through hoops and completing coursework to graduate is not hard work. To get ahead in life, you better have a work ethic or some very good connections.

To say they're only getting an average of 23,000 in scholarship money is not seeing the forest for the trees. Don't forget about paying for all meals & cutting checks to the players to cover meals when the cafeteria is closed (spring break for example). Don't forget about bus/plane tickets, free team gear, cushy campus jobs to put money in their pocket, and the list goes on and on. I have a very hard time feeling sorry for any college athlete that has everything taken care of for them. Especially when so many college students take more than 15 hours per semester and hold down a full-time job to pay for it all.
