gollark: I don't really agree. It is not practical to guess what directly applicable skills will be needed in the future. It should teach general skills like learning independently fast, mathematical modelling, useful writing, languages, and that sort of thing.
gollark: It's actually possible to learn things yourself.
gollark: CVs are maaaybe suitable for teaching since I don't think there's that much to it but you can probably learn faster with good feedback.
gollark: "How to get a job" is very complex, but that just means school would teach it very uselessly and/or vaguely and/or outdatedly.
