And the fact that it’s hard for a company to determine what those factors are is a problem in itself. Was the student immature at time of college (partied too much, disinterested in academics/chosen subjects are two problems that come to mind)? Did he work a full/part-time job while taking classes? Did he have a child? Did she care for someone else’s child or a younger sibling? Catch my drift?

Overall, I agree with most of what you are saying, but I also agree with the previous post. You seem eloquent and well-spoken, in fact it’s a bit off-putting.

I understand your argument, but this colorful language only weakens your argument, unless you’re writing a paper for class. In conversation, you’d be better off rephrasing in a less formal manner.
