Defining 50% here would be hard. I may not use all of the skills I learned at the university, and one may learn more at the beginning of one's study, but I fear it takes the good part of 2 years to get to 50% of a 4 year CS degree.
Learning is also a kind of Maturation process where ones abilities tends to grow over time. This may be hard to substitute, even by study more intensely.
