Not the fault of the education system at all. I don't put much stock into business degrees and most degrees that aren't in a specialized field. Basically you pay to show an employer that you applied yourself "kind of" for 4 years.
I think we actually receive 3 educations; one from our parents, one from our teachers & professors,...and one from the real-world..and I think the third complete contradicts what the first two teach us.
But I digress...the fact that graduating from a Big 10 school doesn't seem to help much in the job hunt. I mean I went to Iowa, not like Northwestern or anything, but the business school was ranked really high. Nobody cares, especially now that you are in the work force a few years.
