I’m young but new grads are illiterate
I graduated college 4 years ago and have been working in the corporate world in New York ever since. I’ve been managing associates since the end of my first year. I don’t want to sound like a boomer but I’m genuinely concerned for the state of education in this country. Every year the quality of associates decreases significantly. I’m at the point where I have to rewrite every thing they do before it’s sent. If I ask them to check something for grammar/clarity/redundancy they have no clue what’s wrong or what to look for. Editing their writing takes up at least 50% of my working hours. These are college educated people. How are colleges allowing their students to graduate without being able to write a simple sentence?? How can you go into that much debt and still not know how to write in your native language??
