> Wait...really? You think that everyone that goes to a four year higher education institution learns nothing? I think I can see why you have a problem with college... I have a BS in Mathematics. I don't remember any of my abstract algebra, barely remember some real analysis, don't have a clue about complex analysis or pde (actually I am not sure if pde is partial derivative equations or not without actually googling it first which I am avoiding to make a point). I couldn't write a SN1, E1, SN2, E2 from organic one if my life depended on it. Things I do remember? LDL the first L stands for Loser so it is the bad kind. That means HDL is the good kind (don't know the context but I think it is about fat in nutrition). Oh and that we tend to remember strange things like a hippo walking through the campus quad because it gets stored in the hippocampus (which is below the cerebral cortex?) of our brain. I did pretty well in college. Besides my sophomore slump, I was on the Dean's List six out of eight semesters. I was a department tutor who helped others with their studies/background work to prepare for class. I tried to do everything right. And yet, I don't think we retain most of the facts we study in college. I will concede though that it is not easy to learn anything in my "spare time" when you work full-time though. I mean it might be possible if you can leave your work at work but if you're a programmer, you really can't do that. It still gnaws you in the back of your head. (Again, I hope I am in the minority and that most people are able to leave work at work).
