Students complain tha a degree does not fully prepare therfi for thei chosen profession, and even more basically that a degree no longer even insures them of position within that profession. While it is true that graduation from a un iversity, by virtue of the large number o gradsuates year, no longer carries thy special distinction of accomplishment it onci signified in years past, the value of a universi ty education has in no way diminished Rather. their aspirations of our graduates i terms of what can be expected from thai education must change. We have entered period in which an education is simply necessity and not a guarantee. We hav entered a period in which the individual, an not degree alone, is the Iggy to his employg menifmand success.

C-i?eater competition, ever increasin technical requirements, and decreasin tolerance of error are all factors which hav indeed made the transition from the universit to the real-world much more difficult fo today's graduate.
