[1] (para.1) General statement:The saddest thing about youth is that it iswasted on the young. [2](para.2-para.4)The present condition as revealed from a survey: A survey report on first-year college students shows that things of material value are very important to youth. Today's college beginners are "more consumeristic and less idealistic" than before. [3](para.5-para.8)The present situation: 1. The students' major objective is to be financially well off, but not to develop a meaningful philosophy of life. And the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting. 2. Interest in teaching, social service and the humanities is at a low while enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up. 3. One example. A sales representative was making twice the salary of college instructors during her first year on the job. She devalued the importance of music, history, literature, etc.
