My wife works with some colleges on preparing these kids for the job market. Most of the colleges she calls on to sell her services aren’t interested. They tell her they know what they are doing.

It’s good for a chuckle.

Interesting, I would think in this day your wife has a gold mine, but I can see the arrogance of the college. Ever consider private preparation classes?

Mrs WBill teaches at a local Community College. I suggested your wife's same idea to her, a few years back. I think it's great....How to dress, etiquette for business meetings, lunches, business speech (communications), resume writing, networking, and so on and so on....

She also thought it was brilliant. She ran it up the chain of command, and got your response. "Thanks, but no thanks......we got this.", approximately.

I suppose that when you're graduating kids who can barely read and do basic math, then "Interviewing skills" aren't high on the list. And, they're probably racist, anyway.

I believe they do know what they are doing. Maybe their goal isn’t to get their grads hired out. Their goal is to get those who fail at getting jobs to come back to their school, take on more debt and study for another degree.

If the grad’s original degree, with your wife’s preparation, was enough to earn them jobs, the schools would get less advanced degree money.
