&gt; schools are going to have to pay more attention to careers and what employers want<p>I think it&#x27;s time that we stopped seeing education as the means to get a job. Education != training and universities shouldn&#x27;t exist just to get graduates employment. We used to have technical colleges for this sort of thing. I think it would be a shame if universities started adapting themselves to fit what employers want.<p>Having said that, if it is true that &quot;they rate young applicants as deficient in such key workplace skills as written and oral communication, critical thinking and analytical reasoning&quot;, then this is a serious problem with the education system. Not because it doesn&#x27;t train students to get a good job, but because their minds are clearly not being trained to think properly.
