My experience is very far from what you describe. I learned ton of stuff from teachers who were mostly enthusiastic about the field they were teaching. Do you write from your own experience? do you have a degree?
- zamalek 8y agoIt depends strongly on where you go. I dropped out in my 20's because I was learning bugger all from completely disinterested lecturers. I'm picking it up again at 31 (new university) and I'm not only mostly enjoying it but I'm even enjoying "bullshit" subjects that have nothing to do with CS. Some universities (I would assume most) are businesses that print degrees and answer to shareholders, others are learning institutions that answer to students.
- ataturk 8y agoI'm pretty capable of demonstrating that my degrees have had a huge affect on my life and my career, so not worthless. You get out what you put in, however. Maybe that's what you meant? If you just go through life ticking boxes and collecting tokens, you get what you get. Gaming the system is a strategy, it's just not the one I chose.
