Re passion: you need a lot more of that to be "constantly learning and solving problems" for 4 years, rather than for 3 months.
What do you think people do in college? Party non-stop?

- potta_coffee 7y agoLearning to get along with teammates can happen in many different environments. I learned those things from sports, working construction, military experience, and a few other places.

- mieseratte 7y agoOddly all of my worst coworkers had degrees. The folks who would bullshit their way through life, never really do work, expect their coworkers would pickup the slack. Most of the self-taught or folks with blue collar or military background have been the best. Hungry and resilient. Strange crowd at times, but great people.
