Our colleges should stop socializing their students like children and start training them like adults so they’re actually prepared for the workplace.

Quicken founder Dan Gilbert is a pretty liberal guy but even he has complained that he gets all kinds of new employees with great degrees who have no actual knowledge or interest in doing the job. Gilbert is the kind of guy who puts a game room and basketball court in his offices yet still has employees who take off for 3 or 4 days to go to comic con without notice.

Perhaps Dan Gilbert ought to look at the huge pool of proven, experienced IT workers who can no longer get IT work after they were replaced by ‘Guest Workers” and OPT’s that they were required to train as a condition of getting severenc pay.
