I agree with the thrust of your argument. Pretty much no one gets job training from university, they get it when they start actually working.
There is a big problem, however, and it's only going to get worse. If all your training is in a specific industry, what happens when that job gets outsourced or automated away? I'm not sure I completely buy it, but there is a case to be made for generalist education as preparation for a changing world.

However I also think that some portion of their income should be accrued into a college-only account, should they choose to expand their general education. This is just my opinion and I would welcome responses.
