After being in college, it's quite disappointing that as a society we rank it's importance for careers so high. The stuff you learn isn't really valid in most of the corporate world.

For instance, my Info Sys classes definitely taught me the basics of databases and coding and all that, however, I was completely trained to do bigger and better things when I started working.

Shouldn't colleges stop pushing prequisites and start pushing subject matter that is currently hot in the marketplace?

/end serious response imo afaik ldo ttyl tia

I suspect that most of us don't major in a discipline that is subject to market influence. You know, liberal arts type stuff. Sure, my political science stuff isn't going to help me do some corporate lackey job. But at least I'll know how to think and write. I kind of like it that way.

For like finance and business majors though, why the hell are you paying for an education that isn't relevant?
