It’s too bad college curriculums weren’t a mix of abstract, and practical. Yes, many claim they are, but we all know the truth.
I look back on my college days, and had maybe 8 classes that were actually useful, and that’s being generous. Yes, I was a STEM major.
I liked the idea of Bootcamps, but the quality is so spotty.
I look back at my instructors in college, and if not for that 10 year, so many were basically useless windbags. Zero practical knowledge, or if they had it kept it secret.
Computers, and a Programming, is still so new that a determined student can possibly do so much more than the guy who’s just taking classes because they feel it’s a safe career.
(That last paragraph only applies to guys under 35 though. I have never seen such ageism in any industry, with maybe the the exception of porn.)
