Profs on the next generation of journalists

I'm trying not to be overly newsroom-centric here, but this is a pretty interesting story from PressThink:"Things I Used to Teach that I No Longer Believe." (Credit for the link: Romenesko on Poynter.org)

Predictably, some of the profs and people who left comments, say that the j-school kids today are a bunch of money-grubbing kids with an "entitlement" mentality. But one prof shares a story about a girl who turned down a $200,000 scholarship because she decided she "just can't be in such a terrible profession." Instead, she wants to go do something where she can make a difference.
