A business like this has a strong incentive to get you a decent job for a few years after graduation, because that's how they get paid. The incentives of a regular college or university are longer-term, and play out over the course of decades. These are alumni networks, alumni donations, legacy students, general reputation, and so on.

As a result, this business has incentives to teach you what will be profitable for them in the near future and neglect the medium to long term. A college's incentives favor the medium to long term, with a corresponding potential short-term sacrifice.
