"universities are not, and were never intended to be, career training centers"
The professional vocational degrees like engineering, medicine and law are intended exactly for career training. They are usually certified by practitioner guilds, for example.
You are quite right about computer science, but that is not a vocational professional program.
The OP studied engineering.
(edit: reading down a bit, someone spotted that OP studied Management Information Systems, which may or may not be engineering as generally understood.)
- 2mur 12y agoI can't speak for law school. Medical school is absolutely not career training. It simply gives you the knowledge and vocabulary so that you can be trained to be doctor. The additional training, of course, happens in your residency. You are utterly unprepared to truly be a physician when you graduate medical school, even if you have earned the right to be called 'doctor.'
