I kept wondering who is Bill (OP) considering as "they", and who are these
folks he's observing, under what circumstances?
maybe he means "Generation Me", as described here;?

That's what's going to happen.
I have a few "starter checks" that Key gave me when I
set up the account. That will take care of the withdrawal.
I'll leave enough in the Key bank account to cover a $100.00
automatic payment.
But finding a payment of over $100 is
going to be an issue. Let's see: Electric? no. Gas? no.
Phone, internet, cable TV? No, no and no. Cell phone? no.
Hmm...
I'm starting to see some drawbacks to this frugal lifestyle.

Just pick the largest bill and make a payment of $100. You'll
have a credit on the account, but you'll eventually use that up.

Networking is very important, but its hard to paint with a wide brush to
say its more (or less) important than a college education to advance
one's career. It really depends on the individual situation.
For example, a medical doctor in private practice probably can get away
with minimal professional networking, but as an IT specialist, I find
networking is essential to my work and maintaining job security. My
education has definitely helped me network because a lot of my most key
acquaintances are people who I met in college. Most colleges and
universities have a very active alumni association where graduates can
get together to network. Some of the contacts I made many years ago when
I was in school have helped me greatly in my career advancement and
there is no way that would have happened if I didn't get a college
education AND make the effort to get to know people.

Not many people hate immigrants. Most people are anti-illegal
immigrant for good reasons.
