I don’t think so, because most of the time when they just come out of school… college doesn’t get you set up for that type of environment. It gives you the technical skills that you need, but, then, when you come into the industry, most of the projects that you work on need to have a lot of people involved with it [that task]. School doesn’t really give you that...it gives you the technical part… And then you come into industry and think, “Well, now I have this team I’ve got to be a part of.” It really doesn’t give you the communication part. On a school basis you can say, “OK, I’m going to be an individual contributor.” When it comes to industry, you can’t really be an individual contributor in some of the projects you are working on.
