[QUOTE=catherder;180849]Am I being unreasonable by suggesting that “academy grad” also implies “young?” Or am I off the mark…[/QUOTE]
Yes, that’s unreasonable for Maritime schools. A very high percentage is in their 30’s and even 40’s.
[QUOTE=catherder;180853]Yep. I see this trend with all kinds of employment. “recent college grad” comes to mind.[/QUOTE]
The jobs I’ve seen like that (about Maritime Academy grads) made me think they were advertising to inexperienced people (thus why [B]recent[/B] grad) specifically because they weren’t going to pay much.
