You know....

 When I was a student, I felt this exact same way. If in the business world we 
are so often called upon to work in a group setting, and many large scale 
computer applications require the interactions and teamwork of many people
(which includes the liberal re-use of code written by others) what makes
the eductaional system continually work at the opposite goals. Is the real goal
of the educational system to prepare students for PhD's in research, or to
prepare them with the skills necessary to life a comfortable life?

Yeah, I know...this probably doesn't belong in the group. But I wanted to
say it anyway.
