I went to RIT. A year of co-op is required for most majors. I wouldn&#x27;t have had my great experience at Apple or such a fantastic job now if it weren&#x27;t for that degree requirement.<p>I still think college isn&#x27;t for everybody. My grandfather was a combat engineer in WWII but the GI Bill college track wasn&#x27;t doing it for him so he started a successful restaurant instead.<p>That being said, co-ops are the only reasonable strategy for colleges to expect job placement upon graduation.
