that they were open at 9 AM and now have pitchers. No table service yet. The manager told me that they were having trouble finding help. Nevertheless, things were much improved for the 2nd home game.
Stopped in at Doggie's Pub(The Skeller) and was happy to see

It is going to take some time to replace all the talent that left year.
It is something that I enjoy watching the newbies learn the ropes and improve.
Also the biggest improvement occurs between the first and second game.

That's a problem throughout the borough. In my day, you had to know somebody to get a decent job downtown. Nowadays the students just don't want to work. Daddy's (and Mommy's) credit card covers everything. The bars/restaurants are all begging for help.
I think it is more than just that. Not every student comes from a wealthy family. Penn State really pushes students to be involved with things like clubs and thon. Resumes today have to be filled with things like internships, showing leadership in clubs, doing good things for the community...etc. Kids don't have the time like they used to. Back in your day (and mine) working in a bar showed initiative. Today it is not enough to get noticed. I don't agree with it, but that is the reality that I see.
The PSU that you went to is not the PSU that exists today.
Costs.......................................PA Resident.........Non-PA Resident
Tuition and Fees......................$18,436.................$33,664
Additional Estimated Costs......$13,120-16,342.....$13,120-16,342
TOTAL.....................................$31,556-34,778.....$46,784-50,006
I graduated 19 years ago and my total education cost less than one year today for an out of state student. I used to go out to the bars and spend $10 in a night. Today, the kids are drinking $10 margaritas at Mad Mex. Could you imagine a Starbucks surviving when you were in school? Me neither. It's not about time. Its about the average family income level of the student body.

There's some truth to that. The first level of being recruited is HR. HR looks (electronically) for some pretty random things and "worked to put myself through college" isn't one of them.

I counted at least half a dozen stores advertising for help on College Ave between Pugh St and Garner.
Somehow honest work has been devalued, and all kinds of bullshit overvalued. How this happened to a country that used to value work escapes me- kind of.
