Economics Changing how Colleges Work.

[Simonbob]

You do realize a big part of the reason the modern education system exists as it does is so that companies don't have to deal with apprenticeships or training periods, right?

Like, most companies don't want to risk having to spend 6 months or more on training. Let alone the years that would be required for more advanced jobs. They don't want to have to pay that up front cost.

Sure.

But it doesn't work. The first 6 months is almost all jobs, the new guy's pretty useless.

This. Textbooks and cram exams are no substitute for repetition and real world experience.
