> It's bad enough that more college students see 'being very well off financially' as a more important goal than helping others (compared to other generations)

I'd bet that this is largely because college students now graduate with tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt, and getting an entry level job out of college is harder than it's ever been. When you're struggling simply to stay float, you tend to be more concerned with your own well being than that of others.

I take it you were not looking for a job in '09-'10.
