             Times Have Changed Times have changed dramatically in
             the past thirty years. The style of living, the sizes of families,
             and education have all changed dramatically. During the
             fifties, sixties, and most of the early seventies teenagers
             were thinking about going off to war or starting a family.
             Very few teenagers coming out of high school were
             thinking about college. Slowly as times started to change,
             more and more people were going off to college. Today at
             the end of the nineties, very few people do not go off to
             college. Instead of high school students thinking about
             starting families or going off to war, they have a bigger

             competition is fierce. They are no longer accepting
             teenagers right out of High School. They are looking for
             people in their mid- twenties with a four-year degree,
             sometimes even a graduate level degree. Many hypothesize
             that this is because companies are paying their employees
             more. Another hypothesis is that they are trying to move
             forward. These companies are trying to expand on what
             they already have. There is a race to become the biggest
             and the best. Therefore, they are looking to college
             students who are specialized and know about the field.
             They are willing to pay college graduates a lot of money
             because they have faith that they will earn it back. During
             the fifties, sixties, and early seventies companies were
             happy to be getting anyone....
