I find this news more than a little troubling. These women seem determined to cash in on their youth, good looks and college degrees before walking out into the world and carving a path of their own.
Where in these women is the passion to walk out into the world and make themselves a place in it? Where is the willingness to take a little time in life for self-discovery? Life is, to borrow the line from the car commercial, not about the destination, but the journey.

cash in (on sth) (disapproving): to gain an advantage for yourself from a situation, especially in a way that other people think is wrong or immoral: The film studio is being accused of cashing in on the singer's death.
