Four years to get a degree, 2 semesters per year, 8 books per semester. At the end 64 books and no jobs available. Last resort, sell the books and go away, a journey without destination to find my trueself. To discover what the books weren't able to teach me.
Sadly this is the path of many students nowadays.

Yes, there is such a disconnect between education and jobs. My mother told me a university education was for becoming well rounded. In hindsight, she probably meant “find a husband,” but it was good advice anyway.
