>College is not a trade school, it was never meant to train you for a job with rare exceptions like medical professionals and they have a lengthy apprentice program. I can get a CS/CE degree without ever stepping into an actual office, why would you expect me to know a job I've never done? I agree with your sentiment. This was true for a while, but it isn't anymore. Companies would hire you just because you had a college degree, because it showed you were capable of learning. Once they stopped that and required particular degrees, it became a trade school.
