Heck yeah!
When you are in college, you can become president of an organization within three years. You can become the editor of your paper and control a huge budget.
You get out of college, and there you are in an entry-level job. It doesn't matter what your skills are, you have to "pay your dues" to get promoted. Within three years, you're lucky to have been promoted once. Or you work at a crappy company with high turnover and get promoted - but then you work at a crappy company. Recognition does not come as quickly.
In college, you are surrounded by your peers. 50% of the people around you are of the opposite sex, and a good portion of those are single. And in general they are smart and (getting) educated.
In the work world, you're surrounded by people who are not in your age group. In my office building, there are fewer than five single men under the age of 35. It's similar in my apartment complex, but at least at work we talk to each other.
Lots of people move away from their college town for family or job reasons. Even if you stick around you can't hang out at college bars forever. In college, especially at the beginning, everyone else was looking for new friends. After college, you have to meet new people without the advantages of new students who also want friends or events like rush.
It's a cold, cruel world out there, kids. It'll make you regret you ever had senioritis.
