As someone who recently turned 18, I disagree. From my perspective, these children are coddled to hell and back.<p>They&#x27;re expecting colleges to parent rather than to teach. That&#x27;s just how they grew up, that&#x27;s just how they&#x27;ll try to shape the environment. They don&#x27;t want to fit the environment, they want the environment to fit them.<p>I&#x27;ve been a competent programmer since I was 16 and not having a degree means no one cares. What does it even mean to be an adult?
