Man I wish I was feeling the narcissism. I keep seeing the reality of the situation and just feel underqualified, massively guilty, confused, soon-to-be financially strained and soon-to-be outcompeted. If I get out of college, actually get a good job, and have an employer that doesn't despise me, I will be the happiest man in the world hahaha.
Also I kind of think that these students are claiming they are more qualified than they are because that is how you compete, or at least how you are taught to compete. You're supposed to dress up all your qualities as nicely as possible so you can get a foot in the door and have a chance at a job.
