Day programs may suck but the concept has to be better than it is.

The problem is probably not that they are "university graduates" but that they are underpaid, overworked, and working under conditions not conducive to good morale. Also their specific training might not be adequate for their job. Also there might just not be enough funding for whatever kind of "day program" you have in mind.

As far as I know, Wrong Planet does not "employ" anyone -- it's run by volunteers.
