Did MCAD prepare you for life after graduation? In what way?

No. We did not learn how to make stretchers. Weren't allowed to take graphics courses if you were a fine art major. I knew I had to support myself and was already working in silkscreening. we were not taught how to approach galleries because we were not going to be mature painters until we were in our 40s. Plenty good stuff but plenty left out
