Agreed. My university and my daughter's offer Etiquette Dinners, and mine even offers "Surviving a Golf Outing." Some of the difficulty is that students have to be open to this information, which many are. Someone who carries an attitude of "I look good already, I'm not conforming to the expectations of Big Business! They can conform to me!" is probably not going to be the first one to line up for these kinds of seminars.
