Do we ask BW students why they’re taking classes? Do we offer “careerism” as a choiceworthy goal?
BW@WWU 
We all have reasons for being in school, right, even when those are “because that’s what expected of me by mom and dad” or the more nebulous, “I need a degree to succeed”? So I think we can ask students why they’re in school and have interesting and productive discussions about it, but I don’t know about “careerism.” I’m wary of being a booster for stuff like this:
“… the young graduates employed by Busch, Slipakoff & Schuh say they are grateful for even the rotest of rote office work they have been given.
‘It sure beats washing cars,’ said Landon Crider, 24, the firm’s soft-spoken runner.”
The boss is listening – be grateful for everything!
None of us are meant to live like this. I just try to remind myself that.
