People should stop think that higher education is training for job. It's
not. Vocational training and apprenticeship are training for job. Universities
were never a proper environment for that. On the other hand, universities are
an excellent environment for research and field exploration, which is
virtually impossible in a typical job.
Maybe companies should flunk if they can’t train workers for jobs. In the US there is a tendency to put pressure on the educational system for EVERYTHING. Eating healthy, sex, keeping our STEM knowledge competitive with the Soviet Union, training a 100% perfect labor force for businesses, etc.
