    Design schools are not meant for job training.

    The best design schools (like RISD, Cranbrook, etc.) teach their students the fundamentals of design and art, help them to think creatively, teach them to be resourceful, and expose them to the power of design. And this is merely the first 4 years of a designer's lifelong career.

    Design schools are not supposed to serve the staffing needs of a design company.
