Yeah, I think we need something more on the job like vs classroom, unless you're doing something highly specialized that's not changing.

I'm in IT and... nothing I learned in college helped me. I had a side biz thru college that I learned more thru that eventually got me my first job. I'd much rather hire someone just out of HS and train them in best practices and someone eager to learn than someone who spent four years partying thru college (there are great folks in college, too, don't get me wrong).
