Where are you getting hostility from? I made a comment that suggests that college is not preparing these young adults for their selected careers and is basically dumping them onto the businesses to train. I have also pointed out that a lot of college grads don't start at lower positions, they go for senior level stuff and then write articles like this one suggesting that the 6 figure jobs are gone. They're still plenty of them and they're still around but they're no longer getting handed out to college grads with 0 experience, like back in the early 00s. I also suggested that in this field, you can learn a foundation on your own, which is to be expected. A mechanical engineer should know a good bit of math and shouldn't have the expectation that the company teach them math. That's a foundation they should already have. In the IT world, the foundations of understanding domains, OS's, how firewalls work, etc. Is a foundation you should know already.

No where did I say that I expect new employees to know everything. I said I expect them to at least have a foundation of what's needed for the job.
