OK, now that rant was out of my system, any tips from the college goers on this forum for how to best make sure I get a job after I graduate from college?

You may have more luck asking employed college GRADUATES rather than students. I don't know much beyond the various platitudes they feed you from birth.

I mean, it's almost like, on your first day of a martial arts class, asking another first-day student how to perform the advanced techniques. You might get a few tips that might help, but you'll get those same tips AND better help from asking one of the instructors/advanced students.

Makes good sense.  Thanks for the input, Virgil0211.  I really appreciate it. :)
