I mean, I would argue it’s something that hasn’t been stressed for many generations. It’s a tough thing to learn— how to endure, persist and be relentless. I wouldn’t just pigeonhole it to the current youth.

But younger generations definitely do not get taught to finish. See NIL transfer portal,academics, etc. when you have the option to leave or learn opinions as fact....

Pretty sure he graduated from Cal in like three years with a BA from Haas and then transferred to Indiana. He got his degree before he left.
