Article source for : OCC commercial
Last week I saw a commercial for Owens Community College on TV. The thrust of the commercial is how comfortable a student can be while living at home; the fridge is always stocked, someone to do your laundry and cook meals are all listed as comforts of pursuing a degree while living at home.
I've always been a fan of comedy, but I find the comedic attempt of this commercial misses its' mark. I wonder who from OCC has any say in releasing commercials, because this one was a horrible decision.
Having seen recent graduates with little to no work ethic enter and leave my workplace is what drives my distaste for this particular commercial. I've encountered numerous new employees who feel that have a right to more days off and a pay raise just because they have been working for the firm for a year. The "you owe me" mentality has been mentioned during annual reviews and when two employees were caught stealing.
I went to OCC before moving on to UT for my BS and Master's. I will always recommend attending Owens to anyone who is thinking of pursuing a degree because the faculty is great -- usually *very* interested and knowledgeable in the subjects that they teach. But... this commercial should be taken out and shot.
