Actually no they are not. In many ways Academia shields one from what is the real world, you live or work in small usually sheltered communities and students are to some degree sheltered from the real world presures and realities...as a person who has lived in both worlds and am now as an adult back in school part time...I can assure you...the kids who are in college now DO NOT experience the real world the same as those who have to go out and make it "the real world" Students always argue about how experienced and traveled they are...but untill they shed the protections of "The System" they are not experienced....and that will be my final answer on this issue as I know we are about to get flooded with studi who are going to argue how experienced and wise and mature they are [img]smile.gif[/img]
