higher ed woes

Higher ed. woes in other countries.
Here, this attitude is common amongst students who enroll in BCom classes. Most of them are sons (this is more common in boys) of businessmen and some are very rich. Their pocket money often exceeds the salary their teachers get. So they feel "what can I learn from a loser like  you?" They join college in order to become a "graduate" thus enhancing their value at the marriage mart. However, I must add, some of them, just some, are already handling their family businesses and are often too busy to attend classes. Some work evenings at their businesses and look upon college as a break from the hard work during their evenings. But these are usually in the minority. Most of those who study for a BCom degree, just have a good time and expect to be handed a degree at the end of three years, no matter what they do, since they have paid for it.
