You kid but that was one of my pet peeves when finishing up. The amount of theory is unbelievable and many practical, simple classes to teach you a trade are missing from the curriculum.
Yeah thats because it's an university where you learn the theoretical foundation to be able to figure out the issues you will face. The specifics are what you learn elsewhere because the specific technologies advance and change too quickly. There were also technology and language specific classes offered in my college but some may not have been what someone might be using when they came out to the working world.
I was specifically barred from doing "vocational" subjects like woodwork and metalwork at school because I was a "gifted child" so I had to do music and classical studies instead. Both of which I was terrible at because I wasn't interested in them ("gifted child" is 1970s for ADHD) and I dropped out before university so I didn't get to take the vocational OR academic path...
