I'm not sure about your #2. Self-promotion is not necessary at university, since the profs receive mandatory submissions. Very different from a job search, putting yourself and your paperwork "out there" in a targeted way.

I agree about classwork, but I think many universities put a lot of effort into placing their students. Job fairs, resume classes, internships, student research, etc. Personally, I suck at self promotion. The career aids offered by my school made a world of difference.

  Outside of internships, everything else is opt in.

    Of course. Wait, you had required internships?

      Some schools do have co-op programs of various sorts. But they're generally opt-in with various degrees of optionality.

Replace „to find“ with „to be accepted“. There is still a lot of (stupid) company rules about hiring only people with an advanced degree.
