This guy is the EXACT thing that is what's wrong with America. Shiftless, unwilling to take on hard tasks, nothing like you'd expect a man to act like. Take a look at this:
It took Robert Hinojosa seven years to pick a major and stick with it to collect a bachelor's degree.
He dropped out once, made all F's another semester, and dabbled in engineering and small-business management before finding something he could see himself doing long term.
"Ever since I changed my major to art, I've made the dean's list every semester," said the art/media graphics major last week. "The Internet and Web development industry is growing at 15 percent a year, so I see the potential."
7 years for a 4 year degree?? It's one thing to try and fail, but this just has failure at life written all over it. A degree in art? Well that's all fine and dandy, but check this next part out:
One problem may be that he talks too much, Hinojosa said. "I have a lot of aspirations, and I don't want to be in a job for a long time. I guess that's not the thing to tell a future employer."
Well no shit. You tell ANY employer that you're not going to want to be there long, guess what happens? You don't get hired. You have to be willing to make sacrifices for companies to get ahead in life. If you aren't willing to show that you're willing to go the extra mile, you're going to be flipping burgers for the rest of your life.
What ever happened to men acting like men? George Carlin had it right, the American male is becoming very pussified. Sure, I can point out many examples of American youth that are acting like men: They hold doors open for a lady. They are responsible. They defend those who need defending. They have a job. They buckle down when things get tough and overcome the hurdles that they face. This guy just quit after each hurdle that he faced. That's not a man.
If you're ever kicked in the teeth by life, kick back. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and give it another try. It saddens me that I even need to post about this. I see some of today's youth and I wonder if a few years from now they are still at their dead end job while their classmates who worked harder and never gave up are now driving around in a new Mercedes.
Perfect example: My friend whom shall name nameless because I don't know if he wants to be outed, is graduating from college this June with a pre-med degree. He's going to be a surgeon. I used to get late night calls from him telling me how he was discouraged because he was having difficulty with this class or that. But what makes him a perfect example is, is that he did all of these while battling cancer. He had a tumor on his throat, spinal column, and I think in his abdomen. Although I might be wrong on that last one. But the fact is, is that he never gave up. Sure, he WANTED to, but he never did. He always made sure that his goal was in the front of his mind and he did whatever it took to reach that goal. That's why when he graduates he'll be driving around in the new Mercedes while the "art" guy will be drawing doodles while in the unemployment line.
