> schools are going to have to pay more attention to careers and what employers want I think it's time that we stopped seeing education as the means to get a job. Education != training and universities shouldn't exist just to get graduates employment. We used to have technical colleges for this sort of thing. I think it would be a shame if universities started adapting themselves to fit what employers want. Having said that, if it is true that "they rate young applicants as deficient in such key workplace skills as written and oral communication, critical thinking and analytical reasoning", then this is a serious problem with the education system. Not because it doesn't train students to get a good job, but because their minds are clearly not being trained to think properly.
