I'll start with J school. When I was managing a newsroom, I got to the point where i didn't want to hire anybody who had a journalism degree because the profs, none of whom had any news experience at all, were filling their heads with garbage. Of course now I know that was happening across the board in all colleges. I got tired of saying, "I don't care what your professor said. This is how we do it in the real world."
