From my point of view University should be entirely about learning academic material for the sake of self improvement. To become a more enlightened and educated individual.
Having a "Technical Interview" course isn't about furthering student's knowledge, but about furthering student's future finical gains. I believe strongly that any improvement of a student's position in the labor market should be a secondary effect, and not a primary concern, of a University.
I think that if Universities start competing on student's success in the labor market post graduation then the centuries long tradition of improving student's knowledge will suffer.
You can have it both ways. Maybe you don’t get college credit for learning how to interview, but a college could offer a free seminar on interviewing well in the evening or something.
Colleges very much care how well their graduates do in the workforce, as it’s a key way they’re measured. It’s a tough balance to mix mind-expanding academia and direct preparedness though.

China has a long and established history of replacing governments that are unfair to their people. It's just, why would you overthrow a government bringing in so much economic growth. Once that growth slows down their government will get away with less civil rights violations.
In the United States there are often deals where certain services used on certain networks do not count against mobile data caps. For example, DirectTV Now app does not count against an AT&T datacap.
I suggest Alan Turning's 1950 Computing Machinery and Intelligence. Many of the ideas first written in this paper are commonly referenced. It's good to have read the primary source. Do machines think? If you know what a theoretical Turning Machine is you'll have all the prerequisite knowledge. If not you can skip over that part. Do they still teach Turning Machines in Highschool?
It’s also a pretty common autocorrect. A fair few of us post using our phones and I’m always horrified to see what actually got posted when I look at it 61 minutes later.
Ha, I literally had 'What are Turing machines?' as my Question of the Week. Thanks for the link. Any other good links to help me find the best answer to this question?
