C'est la vie. The disconnect between college and industry has always existed I think. My guess is that what students really want is a lecture in how to get a job, not how to be useful in a job.

Perhaps some of all this interview nonsense could be avoided by commonly recognized software equivalents of a PE cert, but I suppose you'd simply slide into subtle quizzes about programming languages and the like.
