Where University students fail

Interesting points that Daniel Scocco mentions in his Innovation Zen's article about 13 competencies you will not learn at the University: " ... I am skeptic about the value you get from University degrees and MBA programs. In my opinion most of the traditional education focus too much on knowledge while neglecting the development of competencies and attitudes."

He mentiones following missing competencies:
getting to the point, making proper presentations, working on a team, writing a resume, interviewing, networking, accountability, money management, taking the initiative, strategic planning, dressing for success, negotiating a raise, writing a letter of resignation.
