4yr "education" today is a joke. More like expose, comprehend, dump, retain a percent of concepts. Then, get job, find out you don't know much of shite and what you've got to start learning to get good.
Sad
With the exception of the social justice agenda, do you think that is any different than it always was? The point of a university education is to teach you how to approach problems in the field you are endeavoring to enter. If it’s a STEM field, you may get closer to what you’ll be doing in the real world. Business and law, a little more general in the Bachelor degree phase, more specific as you progress post graduate.
A university is not a technical school giving you a specific skill set that may be obsolete in less than a decade or may be valuable for a century or more. It should be giving you the skills needed to adapt to changing needs and situations. If it is, you will not likely know the specifics of your entry job when you get it but you should be equipped to learn what you need fairly quickly.
The gist of much of what I put down here was relayed to a group young engineering students back around 1981-1982. Sorry no one prepared you for that.
