Problem Solving Skills

In a study conducted on employability , employers were asked why some employees quitted.The employers stated that these people had difficulties to solve workplace problems given to them as these people said they were not taught at the university on how to solve problems.I reckon problem solving skill is essential to have.I did ask some young people I know , if they have problems with their boyfriends and girlfriends what would their solutions be.They just gave a common solution that is ..Dissolve the relationship.Now I know why a lot of people heading for divorces when there are troubles in their relationships.Should we concentrate on resolving the conflicts than dissolving relationship? Could be problem solving skills are not actively practised in our culture?
