Why do college graduates in America feel like they are entitled to so much?

Just because you got a Bachelor's Degree, doesn't mean you're instantly going to find a job with a $100k+ annual salary.

I see so many people who go to college and don't take their education seriously. They barely pass their subjects and don't seem to care about their GPA. They go out and get drunk, rather than doing volunteer work and applying for internships.

Once they are finally in the job market with an entry-level position, they don't take any extra steps to move up. They refuse to show up to work early or stay a little bit later. They refuse to do anything more than their job entails, instead choosing to waste time texting or checking Facebook on their phones. They treat their job like something they are entitled to, rather than something precious that supplies them with their primary source of income.

Why do college graduates in America hold this arrogant sense of entitlement?
