I attended three different institutions at various points of my life and still didn’t see some of the soft skills and basic business etiquette taught. I see young career people come into business with no idea how to attend meetings, answer phones, deal with expectations, etc. I’m not saying those can’t be learned on the job and added on top of an education that was meant to empower people to learn things on their own, but when they’re also tens of thousands in dept and can’t do basic professional tasks, makes me question what right looks like.
So well said, up vote wasn’t enough.
