Companies: won’t hire college graduates Also Companies: “College graduates aren’t prepared for the workforce”

Also companies: you need to be a college graduate

Colleges: you give me money and I give you a piece of paper. You can get your education from YouTube.

Both those clauses are in agreement...

Edit for the silly gooses:

Not hiring young folks and believing young folks aren't prepared to be hired is consistent.
