I suppose it's the whole phenomenon of American students falling behind students in other countries in math, science, etc., but excelling at self-esteem, coming home to roost. Nothing in these people's lives is their own fault. If there is a unifying message behind Occupy Everything, it seems to be, "We played by the rules, we were told all we had to do was go to college and we'd be set for life, so it must be that we're being screwed." So Joe Therrien figures a degree in puppetry (not even puppetry of the penis, Joe? what a miserable slacker you are) is just as good as a degree in, say, civil engineering, and he's just as entitled to the good life as anyone because he went before the high priests of higher education and was credentialed by them.
