Striking a balance
Interesting piece. I guess your assertion makes the
assumption that we learn ANYTHING at school that is
useful in business. If the curriculum does include
genuinely useful sales and marketing modules alongside
maths and economics, then there is much to be said for
teaching how to exploit Web 2.0 for sales and
marketing (or even customer service) purposes.

But as with anything like this, its a question of
balance. They'd probably be able to survive in their
first job without those skills and easily pick them up
later.
