The article does verge on the pointing out the obvious but sometimes that's what's needed.
I guess the big problem with college/university degrees is that while they can teach you some foundation stuff, the industry changes so quickly it's difficult for any curriculum to keep pace with it and people can rightly feel they're well behind the curve if they're not doing their own work.
I always thought it should be a more hands on type of course where students spend all their time working direct for real life clients and simply having lecturers there to monitor QA and pass on advice. Christ knows how they'd stop companies ripping off students and paying peanuts for their work but at least it would give a more reallistic view of how the industry works and how to manage projects.
