I don't agree at all. You're describing a trade school. A university does not care if you get a job. They only care that they've satisfied your academic interes

  > A university does not care if you get a job. Many report out this exact statistic. My alma mater claims 90% job placement for STEM grads. > They offer extra services to help you find a job but it's completely voluntary so I don't equate extra motivation with "equipping". They go out of their way to offer these services, but of course it all boils down to personal motivation. They hand students a tool and show them how it's used. That's my definition of "equipped."

    And, at the risk of being totally cynical, they report out this statistic, care if you are successful in a noteworthy way, and make big contributions over time. (And may even care a bit if you are successful in an abstract sense.)

  This. It’s weird that people equate Computer Science to Software Engineering. TOTALLY different! In fact, you could argue that you could do compsci bachelors and at the end come out knowing everything theoretically but not know how to actually code well. Compare this to a software engineer undergrad - the whole time you should be coding!
