Since when have universities pivoted from training for academia to training for industry?
While I was in university, the classic undergraduate Computer Science program was described to me by the program's advisors as being for academics. If I recall correctly, "those who get A's become professors, those who get C's go into industry."
That seems like a perverse incentive. "Those who get As become low-wage adjuncts and those who get Cs end up with some of the highest salaries in the country". Feels like getting an A is a good way to end up nowher
