Not sure how this would shake out in terms of actual classes but from the student perspective, I would say that the highest priorities while in school are: learn fundamentals that will be useful regardless of how you choose to specialize (25%), expand your mind by learning about the obscurities of the field and trying different things/theory(10%), learn marketable skills that will get you a job as soon as you walk out the door (60%). Community building is nice to have (5%), but it doesn%u2019t help you pay off your student loans (except when your alumni network helps you get a job!) For newbies, it seems like the best guide on what-do-I-need-to-know-to-get-a-job are actual job descriptions since they list specific skills. Unfortunately, they tend to ask for everything under the sun.
