It's really cruel because no amount of education will prepare people for the inevitable first year it takes to actually learn all the ass backwards ways they have of doing things that only that specific workplace does and everyone does it differently.

Every important piece of tech has a borderline unworkable backend that is 20 years of hack jobs taped together that you can't change or improve or it all collapses.

But yeah they expect college to prepare you for that lmao.
