Strange, when did you go to college? When I first arrived in college in 2012 the commonly held knowledge among students was that "while the education you'll learn here is important, but the chance you have to grow in the 4 years as a person and network with others is priority #1"
- sethammons 10y agoI started way back in 2001 :) I'm sure they mentioned something about networking, but I think it may not have been as explicitly told to me as I required at the time.
- IThoughtYouGNU 10y agoI started college in 2010 and I didn't understand this. (Middle class school district in the US). I expected to get all of that from my actual jobs, and in the end I did.
