Totaly agree with that. In the end of four years an individual should be a skilled one, that is wanted by the industry. This is how to revolutionize the education to think beyond some stone written rules.

First year should be internships, 2-4 internships in industries that a kid wants to do a major in before they spend 4 years learning skills for a job, instead of going directly from high school to university somehow knowing what you want to do for the rest of your life, especially in work force socities where education and skills for certain jobs are microscopic so changing jobs becomes near impossible after garduation without more years studying etc.
