I didnt pay for a gym but go that with tuition as well, didnt pay for football tickets but got that as well...WHAT IM SAYING IS THAT IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED AND BE MUCH MORE COMPREHENSIVE BAY...I totally agree with you on your points but the placement programs in alot of colleges are abissmal and again equate to nothing more then going onto monster.com this shouldnt be the case I dont know if youve priced colleges these days but they arent cheap and get more expensive by the semester.
Once again, I think you are being unrealistic. There are simply too many (bad, mediocre, poorly motivated) students out there for schools to take on the task of finding every one of them a job. A college education—like the job market itself—separates the wheat from the chaff. I have had many students over the years whom I have written recommendation letters for, served as references for, or even hired, but I have many more (a majority) I would never recommend/hire even though they managed to get a passing grade. It would be institutional suicide for any school to officially take on the task of finding a job for every student.
As for the cost, going to a pricey private undergraduate school is foolish unless you have the bill paid (scholarship, parents, etc.) State schools are very affordable and for talented, motivated students from modest backgrounds they are engines of opportunity that lead to gainful employment.
