What people like me are scared of is that movies become the one and only medium. For quite a lot of people if it's not on the big screen it doesn't exist. I mean look at this discussion. I have never seen a musical or a play, even if it were based on something I like. But I bet I will never be called elitist if I refused to go to "watchmen on ice".
Also I never met anyone who never saw a film in the same way I never saw a stage musical. Yet there are loads of people who never read a comic book. Film adaptation of a comic book is no different than a novelization of a film. It's just that all the hype that builds up about them that's annoying.
We had guest lecturers come in who started their own company straight out of uni. They were eager to encourage people to start their own business.
The basic argument being - you've got nothing to loose. With student loans and no job you're already in debt. Your financial situation can't really get worse. However if you wait a couple of years, start earning money, start getting responsibilities it becomes harder to become your own boss. Basically it's easier to start a business when you're on your lowest than when you have a mortgage on a house and a family to feed.
It's a bit extreme for my liking and it might not apply in this situation, but it is something to ponder on.

The World Taekwondo Federation. Even the badge on the uniform has a little WTF on it.
Maybe the people who find WTF offensive are from the older more traditional ITF (International Taekwondo Federation) background.
