What are the biggest lie(s) universities sell?

That the world owes you a living simply because you have (or will have) a degree.

Do you think that Universities are that Narcissistic? I did not ever get the feeling that I would be "entitled" to anything when I was doing my media degree in 1994 at Sheffield and john Moores Liverpool. I felt that the University ethic was very inclusive and promoted working as a team. I got a good general feeling of encouragement in general. Tutorials were good where you could bring forward any concerns you may or may not have. I think to paint all Universities as "the world owes you a living with a degree" is rubbish. You have to work very hard to find a job after your degree. It's a competitive world out there.

I haven't attended all unversities, obviously. I can only go on the attitudes of graduates I've known or heard about over the years. Many people, at least they used to (not sure about now) leave university convinced that they are going to find a high paying job immediately. They would turn their noses up at any job wanting them to start at a lower paid entry level, and refuse to consider a job that wasn't immediately in their ideal position of choice. There was very much a sense of entitlement based on having a degree.
Admittedly I've heard less about this kind of attitude recently, but certainly a few years back this was a big thing with graduates. One can only conclude that this attitude must've been fuelled by universities.
