The student feels unprepared for the workforce after college because courses are too theoretical without enough emphasis on practical skills. They think college should provide more opportunities to learn practical aspects of different fields. The student is stressed about having to learn many practical skills through additional job training after graduating due to not feeling prepared by their theoretical college education. The problem is the student needs a way to gain practical skills and experience for employment while in college to feel ready for work after graduation.
