Which is why Robert Reich correctly observed that it's no longer what the corporation puts into the box the counts but rather the centers of knowledge and intuition. I might add to that passion. I've just seen so much lack of passion. Remind me of Mickey Roarke in Year of the Dragon when someone complains that he "Cares too much". He replied "How can you care too much...?"
I wonder that myself, but I see so much apathy at every level. You think it's hard working with coworkers or subordinates that don't care, try a boss, or a CEO. It's hard to stay excited when you work on an eath shattering project for a week of sleepless nights only to receive a limp 'huh' in response....

This laziness found in students is true in the industry as well --
prepare to be very disappointed with a majority of your co-workers upon
graduation. If you manage to fall into a group where most of the people
actually care about what they do, as I have several times, consider
yourself lucky and ride it as long as you can. Sooner or later the
company will hire some moron to manage the group and he will utterly
destroy it.
