Have you ever had a real job where you need to produce results to continue your job? Ever get a job review you disagree with? If you actually do your work and do what's asked of you at the level of where you are performing (A10), no one should question whether or not you deserve a raise or a promotion or spread rumors of who may or may not leave for another job based on merit. If you don't cut it at a job, do you think your boss would keep you there for 4 full years, or recommend you get another job or fire you after a year or 2? BFD, the kids who leave will have to pony up and pay for 2 year of their own education at the worst. I know kids that are upwards $250k in school debt and can't play sports. These kids are on a free ride, call me unsympathetic, not a d!ck.
