Should a college education prepare a student for jobs?

Jobs offered through employment agencies to students with B.A. degrees are primarily management traineer, promotional sales, finance and banking agency representatives said. These jobs, they are, open to men and women.
Statistics provided by the School of Business and the School of Journalism indicate that many liberal arts graduates return to professional schools for graduate degrees. Fifty-seven per cent of graduate students at the business school and 59 per cent of those in journalism graduate program have undergraduate degrees in liberal arts.
Over half of that 70 per cent, moreover, said they taught their education would enable them to find "good jobs" after they graduated.
Lee Young, associate professor of journalism, said he thought that a liberal arts background was helpful to a professional, but that a thesis was being placed on professionalism.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said yesterday that although employment opportunities were an "important consideration in any person's education," the University's primary purpose wasn't to provide vocational or professional

“There is no such thing as a useless degree," one agency representative said. "A company can train someone who can think."
Results of the survey are significant in that more than half of those who thought their education should prepare them for jobs are enrolled in the College of Liberal
"A liberal education doesn't prepare students for a specific job," said George Waggoner, dean of the college. "It gives them a basic education. A B.A. degree prepares them for anything that doesn't require a license."
