People waste tons of time at work, so might as well get practice in at school.

I myself have to juggle a job, internship, and 18 hr credit classes - on top of that I'll prolly graduate with like 90k debt. That video is unrealistic to a lot of students that I know. The kids in that college or whatever has it so easy. Um, yeah, students these days actually have it WAY harder than before.

Which of us didn't face adversity, poverty, late nights and other distractions when we were at college? Isn't it all part of the average college experience in the industrialised West? Perhaps the specifics are different now but I don't know that the amount of challenge is any different to when I was at art school in England in the 80's. I actually thought that life was tougher for students now than this video suggests. Do they have higher expectations now? Perhaps we knew we'd have a tough time when we were young and the kids today don't expect it? I don't know. Interesting video though. Simon I’m not sure I found that ‘disheartening’ as you suggest.
