They don't even try to match courses to available jobs. Consequently, industry doesn't even try to hire graduates. And in turn, people think they have to spend even more time and money getting specialist certificates, e.g. $10,000 for an extra 5 week certificate isn't uncommon.

This is stupid. Profoundly.
