Yup, this article explains and encourages the biggest problem with Portland: The useless youth it produces for the working world that these very same youth whine about not being able to join. Some drugs, alcohol, protesting, a bike and and half dozen like-minded lumps to share a shit hole of a pad. With this kind of encouragement for students, no wonder Portland youth are readily considered a success if they can just manage a bus pass and learn to make a cup of coffee. As part of a hiring team that regularly interviews these "perfect students", it's great to have gained some additional insight as to why we have such a hard time finding motivated, responsible candidates. So yeah, it's great to keep it real and acknowledge all aspects of "student" life as long as it is also emphasized that when it's all said and done, it's still will indeed be real.
