I somewhat agree. I don't know why semester vs. quarter systems matter. I graduated in Comp. Sci. in the mid 90's and did a 1 semester coop and a summer internship that helped me pay for school, get practical experience, make some industry contacts and got to check out potential employers at the same time.
Here in NC, high school students can now earn college credit for advanced courses, saving money and time if they go on to state colleges. There is also discussion of making community colleges in NC tuition free.
