You said it yourself.

The goal isn't to be well prepared for a job. The goal is to get the job. For most students, including myself while I was there, university is a massive signalling exercise. I just cared about the magic combo that would lead to a good paying job.

I’d also like to add that most generic white collar jobs require a bachelor’s degree. Adding the requirement cuts down on the number of applicants, so hiring managers have few qualms with doing this.
