and quite frankly, a lot of them don’t know obvious shit because, well, they’re young.
Being young or being a student doesn't mean you're dumb. Also even if you haven't it's still something you think about and discuss. Especially by your third and fourth years, it's something you should be actively thinking about more and more.
I finished school two years ago by the way. Not trying to give you hope for the future or anything because a lot of people are dumb but they should know better.
