What is called “Co- Operative Education” is one of the best educational models. Students alternate semesters between classes and work. They get a degree and build a resume. Since mentioning the name of one university on this board in other than pejorative terms is bad form, I will just post this article.

I considered GMI (now Kettering University) when I was looking at colleges. Pretty cool model of cooperative education, I thought.

My son graduated with degrees in accounting and finance plus a masters in accounting. (Three degrees in 5 years.) He had passed the CPA exam and did have a brief internship before his senior year. When he started his first real job, they gathered up all the new guys and said “Don’t worry, we are fully aware that you don’t know squat.” It was true.
Yes, a model that included a little actual experience has advantages.
