Man, nobody gives people the benefit of the doubt on the internet huh :( Sorry if my comment on PHP was in poor taste, but it was more of an easy rag than the crux of my argument. I do standby that most CS courses that are supposed to be "practical" teach outdated material (at least at McGill), but of course there are exceptions (e.g. I used ZooKeeper in my distributed systems course). I do think that I do a decent job in my essay explaining how I can fulfill the three reasons people go to college by myself, so I think that merits more of a response than a mocking quote (if I'm reading the tone right). For the record, I took several 500 level courses (along with 300-400 level courses) and although I did learn a good amount, I still think that my time would have been better spent elsewhere. Also for the record, I took several psychology and philosophy courses where I liked the content but felt the professors/TAs tried to shoehorn me into some method of thinking and take it out on my grades when they disagreed with my essays. I will gladly read the same content on my own time and discuss it with other interested people.
